White Sox at Angels picks and predictions
Prediction
Angels 6, White Sox 5
Moneyline
PASS.
There’s no real value here.
The Angels have played far too poorly to back as a heavy moneyline favorite, and the White Sox have been awful all season on the road, making their value subpar as well.
Run line/Against the spread
BET WHITE SOX +1.5 (-145).
The Angels have lost 4 of Canning’s last 5 starts, and he’s coming off arguably his worst appearance of the season in a 5-run loss to the Twins exactly a week ago. Los Angeles has allowed at least 5 runs in 6 straight games, so its pitching has been its weak point. Canning won’t do much to help that.
The White Sox are 3-0 in their last 3 games. While they were 1-4 in the 5 games prior, 3 of those were 2-run losses to far better teams than the Angels. They should be able to keep things close. Back WHITE SOX +1.5 (-145).
Over/Under
BET OVER 8 (-120).
The White Sox have gone Over in 3 of their last 5 games and have scored 19 runs over their last 3. Chicago has allowed at least 4 runs in 5 of its last 7 games.
On the other hand, the Angels are 4-2 O/U in their last 6 and have both scored 3 runs in all 6 games and allowed at least 5 runs in all 6. They are 2-0 O/U in Canning’s last 2 starts and 3-1 O/U in his last 4.
Take OVER 8 (-120).
