Starting pitchers
Lance Lynn vs. Tony Gonsolin
Lynn has struggled his last two times out and has allowed 13 earned runs over his last nine innings of work. He most recently pitched five innings against the New York Yankees, giving up five earned runs on eight hits. He struck out four and walked three but didn’t factor into the decision of his start for the first time since April 11.
Gonsolin has made eight appearances this season after a delayed start due to an ankle injury. The righty hasn’t allowed an earned run in half of his starts and has allowed three earned runs or fewer in the others. Gonsolin is coming off a start against the Cincinnati Reds in which he pitched five innings and allowed four runs (three earned) on five hits. Gonsolin struck out five and walked three but didn’t factor into the decision.
Over/Under pick
The White Sox have scored three runs or fewer in three of their last five games. Los Angeles may not be tallying wins, but they are putting up solid run totals. They have scored at least three runs in six straight games. With the way Lynn has been pitching, the Dodgers lineup could very well hit the over by itself.
Pick: Over 8.5
Moneyline pick
Lynn has been bad on the mound outside of his high strikeout numbers. Gonsolin’s worst outing has just been three earned runs. With how well the Dodgers lineup is hitting, as long as Gonsolin doesn’t absolutely implode on the mound, Los Angeles should start this series with a win.
Pick: Dodgers
