Los Angeles Angels vs Chicago White Sox Prediction
The Angels started the season with a very disappointing loss in game one of this series to a White Sox team that was historically bad last year, and they will look to bounce back here. Los Angeles should have a decent lineup this season, but they managed just one run in their first game and will face a decent pitcher here. Chicago should have plenty of positive momentum coming into this game, and I think they have great value with the plus money. Take the White Sox to win another one!
