The Dodgers are currently on a three-game win streak and look to close out this series matchup with a sweep. Their latest battle was a 4-3 showing in Game 2. So far, the Dodgers have earned seven runs total, or 3.5 runs a game.
They will start Gavin Stone (8-2) on the mound with an ERA of 3.04 and a WHIP of 1.20. Collectively, the team averages an ERA of 3.29, which shows they can consistently provide good defense once Stone leaves the game.
The Dodgers have Shohei Ohtani, who leads them in various offensive categories and ranks within the top five in the league for his efforts. He has a batting average of .320 (2nd), 60 RBIs (5th), and 24 home runs (3rd), making him critical here.
They put up a .256 batting average, allowing their opponents to average .215 against them. This is an excellent separation between the two, but they could always strive for more.
The White Sox are 1-4 in their latest five games while on a three-game skid. Over their last three games, they have allowed 18 runs or six a game. They cannot afford to continue allowing the Dodgers to thrive on offense.
They are starting Erick Fedde (5-2) on the mound, which gives them the best shot at keeping their game close. He has an ERA of 3.05 and a WHIP of 1.14, while the team averages a 4.74 ERA.
The White Sox have Gavin Sheets, who stands out on offense by leading them with a batting average of .241. They also have help from Andrew Vaughn, who has put up 35 RBIs this season. They both must have aggressive, offensive outbursts to make this appealing.
They are averaging an abysmal .219 at the plate and giving up .252 in return. This does not bode well for their chances at success if they cannot slow down the Dodgers on offense.
