Chicago White Sox vs LA Angels Prediction
I’m not running to the window to back the LA Angels in any shape or form, and I’m running from the casino if forced to lay the RL with them. I also have no interest in backing Reid Detmers, a pitcher who has struggled this season and has been even worse at home. With all that said, it’s the Chicago White Sox, one of the worst teams in baseball history and not a team you should be looking to back. A $100 bettor is down nearly $6,000 on the season, backing the White Sox this season. No team has lost bettors even $2,000 this season. It’s bad folks. It’s the Angels and the RL or pass for me.
