Chicago White Sox vs. Los Angeles Dodgers Prediction

I’m on the Dodgers here. It’s hard because with such a heavy line, there’s not a lot of wiggle room to find value, but the White Sox are just overmatched here and while they’re not the worst team in baseball, they’re the worst team in the American League and I think that the Dodgers steamroll Chicago again in this game so give me the Dodgers -1.5 here.

Chris Ruffolo's Pick: Los Angeles Dodgers -1.5
