The Chicago White Sox (58-39) and Milwaukee Brewers (57-41) play the second game of a three-game interleague set Saturday at American Family Field. First pitch is scheduled for 7:10 p.m. ET. Let’s analyze BetMGM Sportsbook‘s lines around the White Sox vs. Brewers odds with MLB picks and predictions.
LHP Carlos Rodon is the projected starting pitcher for the White Sox. He is 8-3 with a 2.14 ERA, 0.90 WHIP, 13.0 K/9 and 2.4 BB/9 over 96 2/3 innings across 16 starts.
Rodon was untouchable Sunday allowing just one hit and no walks with 10 strikeouts across seven scoreless innings in a win over the Houston Astros. He has won back-to-back starts for the first time since winning five in a row from April 5-May 7.
RHP Corbin Burnes is the projected starting pitcher for the Brewers. He is 5-4 with a 2.16 ERA, 0.90 WHIP, 13.1 K/9 and 1.5 BB/9 across 96 innings in 16 starts.
Burnes was impressive last time out, too, allowing five hits and a walk with 12 strikeouts across 8 1/3 scoreless innings in a win at Cincinnati. He is 2-0 with a 0.84 ERA across 21 1/3 innings in three July starts.

Money line (ML)
The WHITE SOX (+110) are a decent play as short ‘dogs behind the red-hot Rodon, who is finally living up to his potential after several average seasons and a few injury-plagued campaigns. After getting dumped 7-1 in the series opener, the Pale Hose will return the favor in the middle game.

Run line/Against the spread (ATS)
The White Sox +1.5 (-190) are too expensive so look to the money line instead for a much better value.
PASS.
Over/Under (O/U)
The UNDER 7 (-105) is a rather low number, but it’s still the play with Rodon and Burnes each rolling right along.
The Under has hit in the past two starts for Rodon and seven of his past 10 outings. And while the Over has hit in five of the past six starts for Burnes, it’s mostly due to the offense. He has done his part for Under bettors allowing one or no runs in all four of his past four appearances.
