Los Angeles Dodgers
The Dodgers became the fourth team to reach the 50-win mark this season in Tuesday's 4-3 triumph on the South Side.
Shohei Ohtani hit a lead-off homer for L.A. before Chicago bounced back with three runs in the bottom of the first inning.
The Dodgers wouldn't allow a run the rest of the game as Freddie Freeman's two-run shot in the third put L.A. up for good.
Following a scoreless first five innings in Monday's opener, the teams easily hit the first five over last night, but amazingly stayed under the game total of 9.5 runs after the Dodgers and White Sox combined for zero runs in the final five innings.
Gavin Stone has pitched well for Los Angeles this season by posting an 8-2 record and 3.04 ERA. The Dodgers have won nine of his last 10 starts.
In 10 of Stone's past 12 outings, the right-hander has given up two earned runs or less, including coming off a seven-strikeout performance at Colorado in a 5-3 victory in his last trip to the mound.
Stone has seen the over cash in four of six road starts, which includes the Dodgers scoring at least 10 runs in three of those games.
Chicago White Sox
The White Sox dropped their 60th game of the season last night, falling to 21-60. Last season, Chicago didn't lose its 60th game until July 23.
The Sox will try to avoid their 11th loss in their last 12 series finales.
From a first five innings perspective, Chicago hasn't trailed through five innings in consecutive games since May 29. The Sox are 7-0 in their last seven games in the first five innings following a first five loss.
Erick Fedde has been one of the best first five innings pitchers this season at 10-4-2, including a 5-0 record at home in his last five starts at Guaranteed Rate Field. In those five games, Fedde has allowed one run in the first five innings, while the first five under has cashed five times.
Fedde hasn't seen the mound at Guaranteed Rate Field in a while as his last five outings have come on the road. Although the Sox are 1-4 in those games, the right-hander has given up two earned runs or less in three consecutive trips to the mound.
From a strikeout prop perspective, Fedde has eclipsed the over on his K's in five of six home starts this season.
However, the Dodgers don't strike out often as 15 of the last 16 opposing starting pitchers have finished under their strikeout prop.
Dodgers vs. White Sox
Betting Pick & Prediction
It's obvious who the better team is in this matchup, but Fedde has turned into one of the best offseason signings considering his numbers with this awful White Sox team.
Fedde's first five inning numbers at home are also remarkable as the Dodgers' offense has been held in check through the first two games of this series.
Although Stone has put up terrific numbers, let's back the White Sox in the first five innings at a nice underdog price.
