White Sox vs. Angels picks and predictions
Prediction
White Sox 6, Angels 4
Money line
The WHITE SOX (+115) are worth playing as short ‘dogs on the road against the struggling Angels (-140).
Chicago has won 6 of its past 8 games on the road, while going 5-1 in the past 6 on the road against a right-handed starter. L.A. has won just 8 of the past 31 games overall, including an awful 4-14 mark in the previous 18 games at home.

Run line/Against the spread
The White Sox +1.5 (-185) are a little expensive if you’re looking for insurance in this series opener.
AVOID, and just play the run line instead.
Over/Under
The OVER 8.5 (-122) is worth playing in this one as both pitchers have been very giving this season.
The Over is also 8-3-1 in the past 12 road games for the ChiSox, while going 4-1-1 in the past 6 tries against AL West teams.
For the Halos, the Under has dominated lately, but the Over is 8-2 in the past 10 home meetings against the Pale Hose.
