Chicago White Sox vs. Los Angeles Dodgers Betting Preview
The MLB standings for the White Sox and Dodgers are a bit disappointing heading into June 15, but Los Angeles is at least over .500. Chicago has struggled all season long, and several players are not playing up to their potential.
Chicago was supposed to have a terrific offense this season, but they have hit just 73 home runs on the year. Luis Robert has belted 16 home runs to lead the way, but he needs some protection in the lineup. On the other side, the offense hasn’t been the problem for Los Angeles this season, as Max Muncy and Freddie Freeman are leading the charge. Muncy has belted 18 home runs to lead the way, and Freeman is hitting .331.
Both teams have had a game in this series in which they played extremely well, and it should set up for a nice showdown in the series finale. There is still plenty of time for both teams to turn their season around, but the Dodgers look like the most capable of getting that done.

Michael Grove
The Los Angeles Dodgers injury report has been full of starting pitchers all year long, and that has thrown young pitchers into action. Michael Grove is one of those pitchers is 0-2 with an ERA over 8.00, and he has to start turning things around.
