Angels at White Sox picks and predictions

Prediction

White Sox 4, Angels 3

Moneyline

Lynn has been dominant lately and has recorded a win in 4 of his last 5 starts. The White Sox have been improving at home and are 5-1 in their last 6 at Guaranteed Rate Field vs. right-handed starters. The Angels are 24th in runs over the last 3 games and do not appear to be breaking out of their slump.

BET WHITE SOX (-135).

Run line/Against the spread

The White Sox are just 1-3 in their last 4 games and expecting Chicago to beat Los Angeles by multiple runs in back-to-back contests is a tough ask. Angels +1.5 (-175) should hit, but there is no need to pay the higher price on the run line when the White Sox moneyline is the better play. Bet Chicago moneyline and/or the total instead.

PASS.

Over/Under

The Under is 4-1 in Chicago’s last 5 home games and 5-2 in its last 7 after a win.

The Under has hit in 5 of Los Angeles’ last 7 games vs. right-handed starters and should cash again Wednesday with Barría and the improving Lynn on the mound.

BET UNDER 9 (-105).

Angels at White Sox picks and predictions

Prediction

Angels 5, White Sox 4

Moneyline

I’ll back the ANGELS (+120) on the road in Monday’s showdown despite that they have lost 3 straight games. The White Sox are 12-13 at home this season and it’s tough to predict what version of Kopech we’ll get.

Run line/Against the spread

PASS.

Unless you can get the Angels +1.5 at -160 odds or better, then it’s not worth wagering on the run line in this contest.

Over/Under

LEAN OVER 8.5 (-120).

With both pitchers being susceptible to giving up multiple runs, the Over is an enticing wager in this game. The White Sox are 4-0 to the Over in their last 4 games overall.

Los Angeles Angels at Chicago White Sox odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Saturday’s Los Angeles Angels at Chicago White Sox odds and lines, with MLB expert picks and predictions.

The Los Angeles Angels (14-7) continue their 4-game set with the Chicago White Sox (7-12) Saturday at Guaranteed Rate Field. First pitch is scheduled for 4:05 p.m. ET. Let’s analyze Tipico Sportsbook‘s lines around the Angels vs. White Sox odds with MLB picks and predictions.

L.A. won the series opener 5-1 Friday thanks to a bullpen day where the Angels relievers outdueled Chicago’s and White Sox SP Lucas Giolito. L.A. RF Taylor Ward stayed hot Friday, hitting 3-for-5 with 1 HR, 1 double and 2 RBIs.

The Angels are on a 6-game winning streak whereas the White Sox has lost nine of 10 games and back-to-back.

Angels at White Sox projected starters

LHP Jose Suarez vs. RHP Vince Velasquez

Suarez (0-1, 5.54 ERA) earned a no-decision in L.A.’s 7-6 win versus the Baltimore Orioles Sunday. He hurled 4 1/3 IP, allowing 3 ER on 4 H, 2 BB and 1 HR with 6 K. This is Suarez’s first start against the White Sox in his four major league seasons.

Velasquez (0-2, 6.75 ERA) got roughed up in Chicago’s 9-2 loss at the Minnesota Twins April 23. He went 3 1/3 IP, surrendering 5 ER on 8 H, 1 BB and 2 HR with 6 K.  Most of Velasquez’s career has been in the NL, and this is his first start versus L.A. in eight major league seasons.

Angels at White Sox picks and predictions

Prediction

Angels 5, White Sox 4

Money line

LEAN ANGELS (+100) only because they are hotter team and Velasquez is a starter I like to fade, and the White Sox having him in the rotation is certainly one of their weak spots.

However, Suarez has poor pitching peripherals as well, and neither bullpen is very reliable. So the Over is my favorite bet in the Angels-White Sox meeting Saturday.

Run line/Against the spread

PASS because I don’t like the Angels -1.5 (+155) enough to sprinkle on their RL. Also, I wouldn’t bet L.A.’s ML and Chicago’s RL in the same game.

Over/Under

BET the OVER 8.5 (-130) because each starter grades in the bottom 15th percentile or worse in exit velocity, hard-hit rate, expected ERA, expected wOBA and expected slugging percentage, according to Statcast. Plus these starters have a combined 2-4 O/U record on the season.

Furthermore, the White Sox lineup has hit lefties well this season: Chicago ranks ninth in wOBA, sixth in wRC+ and fifth in hard-hit rate against left-handed pitching, per FanGraphs. While L.A.’s lineup is first in both wRC+ and wOBA and fifth in WAR versus all pitching.

BET 1 unit on the OVER 8.5 (-130).

Los Angeles Angels at Chicago White Sox odds, picks and prediction

Analyzing Wednesday’s Los Angeles Angels at Chicago White Sox odds and lines, with MLB expert picks and predictions.

The Los Angeles Angels (70-74) continue their three-game set with the Chicago White Sox (83-61) Wednesday with the second game’s first pitch scheduled for 8:10 p.m. ET at Guaranteed Rate Field. Let’s analyze the lines around the Angels vs. White Sox odds with MLB picks and predictions.

Chicago handled L.A. 9-3 Tuesday in the series opener as the White Sox’s six through nine batters did a bulk of the damage by hitting a combined 9-for-15 with 2 home runs, 3 doubles and 7 RBIs.

Also see: 2021 World Series odds for all teams

Season series: Angels lead 3-2.

RHP Janson Junk makes his second MLB start for the Angels. Junk lost 7-3 to the Texas Rangers Sept. 5 with a stat line of 3 2/3 IP, 1 ER, 6 H, 1 BB and 2 K.

LHP Dallas Keuchel takes the hill for the White Sox. Keuchel is 8-9 with a 5.33 ERA (145 1/3 IP, 86 ER), 1.45 WHIP, 3.1 BB/9 and 5.4 K/9 across 27 starts and one relief appearance.

  • Last outing: Loss, 5-1, with 5 2/3 IP, 5 ER, 8 H, 1 BB and 3 K at the Oakland Athletics Sept. 8.
  • Keuchel got a no-decision in Chicago’s 12-8 victory over the Angels April 2 with 4 IP, 4 ER, 6 H, 2 BB and 4 K.
  • vs. Angels on the current roster (37 PA): 3.53 FIP with a .129 batting average, .226 wOBA, .318 expected slugging percentage, 16.2 K% and 87.9 mph exit velocity.

Prediction

Angels 7, White Sox 5

Money line (ML)

PASS since Chicago is most likely the right side but the White Sox (-240) is way out of my price range considering Keuchel’s pitching peripherals and how poor he pitched in his first outing against the Angels.

Also, L.A.’s lineup is more productive against left-handed pitching and the Angels are 25-22 overall vs. lefty starters.

FANTASY BASEBALL: Serious about winning your league? Sign up for BaseballHQ.com to dominate the competition. Subscribe now!

Run line/Against the spread (ATS)

“LEAN” to the ANGELS +1.5 (+102) because Keuchel is somewhat known amongst casual baseball fans and I anticipate most of the public backing the White Sox because of their scary lineup and Keuchel’s familiarity.

However, Keuchel grades in the single-digit percentile in K%, xSLG, expected wOBA and the 33rd percentile in hard-hit rate and 15th percentile in whiff rate.

That combined with L.A.’s above-.500 record against left-handed starters means there’s more value in the ANGELS +1.5 (+102) than any other side in this contest.

Over/Under (O/U)

TAKE the UNDER 9.5 (-130) for 1 unit because the starting pitching matchup screams “Over” but we have a “pros vs. joes” scenario in the betting market suggesting the “sharp” money is predicting a lower scoring affair.

Nearly 90% of the cash wagered is on the Under while two-thirds of the bets placed are with the Over according to pregame.com at the time of writing.

These betting splits have caused oddsmakers to move the total from the Over being the pricier side to the Under being more expensive. Typically, it’s wiser to follow the money in sports betting especially when it’s counter to the crowd.

Los Angeles Angels at Chicago White Sox odds, picks and prediction

Analyzing Tuesday’s Los Angeles Angels at Chicago White Sox odds and lines, with MLB expert picks and predictions.

The Los Angeles Angels (70-73) and Chicago White Sox (82-61) open a three-game set Tuesday at Guaranteed Rate Field. First pitch is set for 8:10 p.m. ET. Let’s analyze the lines around the Angels vs. White Sox odds with MLB picks and predictions.

Angels LHP Packy Naughton (0-1) makes his third start and fifth appearance. He has allowed 4 earned runs on 13 hits and 7 walks with 9 strikeouts through 14 innings.

  • Allowed 2 hits with 2 walks and 5 strikeouts over 5 scoreless frames Sept. 7 at the San Diego Padres in his last start.
  • Was 2-2 with a 4.90 ERA, 1.48 WHIP, 2.1 BB/9 and 8.2 K/9 over 60 2/3 IP spanning 10 starts and four relief appearances for Double-A and Triple-A this season.

White Sox RHP Lucas Giolito (9-9, 3.69 ERA) is projected to make his 28th start. He has a 1.11 WHIP, 2.7 BB/9 and 10.2 K/9 through 158 1/3 IP.

  • Making his first start since Aug. 31 after spending a short stint on the 10-day injured list due to a hamstring injury.
  • Ranks in the 79th percentile or better in HardHit%, K%, xERA, xwOBA and Whiff%

Prediction

White Sox 5, Angels 3

Money line (ML)

The White Sox are one of the league’s best hitting teams against left-handed pitching. Chicago is fourth in wRC+ and sixth by OPS and wOBA against southpaws and should be able to get to Naughton. On the flip side, the Angels rank in the bottom half of the league against right-handed pitching.

Giolito has reportedly been throwing at max effort and had numerous bullpen sessions without incident. He should be fine to handle near his normal workload in his return from the injured list.

With that in mind, despite the White Sox likely being the right side, the line is just too steep to consider as a stand-alone wager.

PASS on the money line and look elsewhere for value.

FANTASY BASEBALL: Serious about winning your league? Sign up for BaseballHQ.com to dominate the competition. Subscribe now!

Run line/Against the spread (ATS)

Naughton is unlikely to go deep into the game as his longest MLB outing was 5 innings last time out. That isn’t a good thing for Los Angeles. While the Angels bullpen’s surface ERA has looked fine in September their xFIP and SIERA rank 20th and 21st, respectively, and they are also 21st in K-BB%.

There’s a chance Giolito doesn’t go as deep as he’s capable in his return from the IL, but that doesn’t spell as serious of a situation for the White Sox. Chicago’s bullpen is second in xFIP, SIERA and K-BB% this month.

If the Angels fall behind early they’re likely to have a difficult time getting back in it.

I don’t usually care to get behind 2.5-run spreads though, so I’m taking the ALTERNATE RUN LINE of WHITE SOX -1.5 (-135).

Over/Under (O/U)

Chicago has an excellent starting pitcher going, and he’s backed by a terrific bullpen. Los Angeles is going to have its work cut out for it to generate a lot of offense.

The White sox have faced some issues of their own at the plate and have produced just 22 runs over their last seven games. While I anticipate them taking this one I don’t necessarily feel like a sudden offensive outburst is in the cards.

No one on their roster has seen Naughton before so that may give him the upper hand – at least the first time through the order.

I’ve got a “LEAN” to the UNDER 9.5 (-130)
