Chicago White Sox vs Los Angeles Dodgers Pick – 7/3/2025
On July 3, the Chicago White Sox venture to Dodger Stadium to face the surging Los Angeles Dodgers in a late-night interleague showdown. The White Sox, battling a poor 28–58 record, hope to upset the dominant Dodgers (55–32) in the third game of this series. Here, I break down whether or not I think that will happen and give you my White Sox vs Dodgers prediction for Thursday night in LA. Aaron Civale has struggled since joining Chicago, posting a 4.74 ERA and 1.50 WHIP, with things looking worse than that across his first three starts with the Sox. Dustin May, with a 4–5 record and 4.68 ERA, has a more favorable profile at home (3.85 ERA at Dodger Stadium vs 5.42 on the road). He’s struck out 75 batters in 82.2 innings and posted 6 strong innings in his last start, and will look to feast on a weak Chicago lineup tonight. The Dodgers’ bullpen has a 4.18 collective ERA, which is below average but not a disaster by any means. In contrast, Chicago’s relievers are slightly better with a 4.07 ERA, but I don’t see that being enough to make up for the talent gap everywhere else in this matchup. Score Projection: Dodgers 5 – White Sox 3 Win Probability: Dodgers 70%, White Sox 30% This appears to be a matchup heavily tilted toward Los Angeles. May’s home success against Civale’s shaky command, combined with superior offensive firepower, supports a confident bet on the Dodgers taking this one by two or more runs. The runline offers value over the inflated moneyline, while Ohtani on total bases and Civale’s strikeout prop also stand out. Expect a comfortable win for the home team and a clean runline cover.Our White Sox vs Dodgers Pick
