Dave Roberts and the Los Angeles Dodgers will look for a sweep when they take on the Chicago White Sox, the worst team in the MLB, in their series finale on Wednesday. The White Sox dropped their first two games, but Game 2 was a narrow 4-3 defeat, surrendering four runs and scoring three.
Shohei Ohtani went deep for the Dodgers with a home run in the top of the first inning. He tied former Dodger Roy Campanella for hitting an RBI in nine straight games. Ohtani was the player of the game, while Michael Peterson picked up a win for his team.
Chris Flexen suffered the loss for the White Sox as their record dropped to 21-60. Erick Fedde will be sent to the mound hoping to pick up a win for his team. Fedde has a 5-2 record with a 3.05 ERA. The issue for the White Sox is their struggling offense and weak bullpen in Game 3.
Gavin Stone, who will take the nod for the Dodgers, has an 8-2 record this season. He turned out to be one of the top pitchers on his team. Stone's 3.04 ERA is pretty decent, given his numbers. A couple of home runs from his team should help him maintain a balance.

Dodgers vs. White Sox Prediction
The White Sox have the worst record in the majors and are ranked No. 29, with a team ERA of 4.79. Offensively, they are ranked last in the MLB with just 246 runs scored.
The Boys in Blue are just the opposite, as they are third with a team ERA of 3.29. Offensively, they hold the third spot with 405 runs this season. Stone has been successful against stronger opponents. Going up against the White Sox should be an easy task.
Yet, Ohtani and his team have struggled to score in big numbers against the weakest team. While Ohtani seems to be carrying the team forward, the absence of Max Muncy and Mookie Betts has made it tough for the Dodgers. However, they are predicted to win this series with a sweep.
Prediction: Los Angeles Dodgers -1.5 (-190)
