Sports Betting 101: How to use Dimers Quick Picks
Today's MLB best bets and odds are proudly brought to you by PointsBet Sportsbook.
White Sox vs. Cubs
BEST BET: White Sox at the run line with PointsBet (-125)
The White Sox have taken over as the big tickets in Chi-Town right now, and they're relishing every opportunity they get to stick it to the Cubbies. While the Cubs have been in decent enough positions in both games on Friday and Saturday, the hitting power of the Sox shone through late and we're expecting that to happen once more.
The pitching matchup is even enough with very little splitting Dylan Crease and Zach Davies from an overall numbers perspective, but it's been the performance of the White Sox bullpen this weekend that has really been the most impressive thing. Even Craig Kimbrel, who was the only negative out of Friday's win when he gave up a three-run homer, atoned the next night with a classy cameo. This Sox team is going to keep the party going.
BEST PROP: Cesar Hernandez to hit a HR/White Sox to win with PointsBet (+600)
We like this spot for Hernandez who has been seeing the ball well this weekend against the Cubs pitchers, hitting home runs in both games. The White Sox second baseman has three hits from seven at-bats this weekend and given the form he is in, the +600 is far too tasty as he goes for three homers in a row.
