White Sox vs Angels Prediction

The White Sox won six of the previous ten H2H encounters, and they have a chance to sweep the Angels here, but I am not sure who is going to win on Sunday. That’s why I’ll opt for Over, and because of the pitching matchup. Jack Kochanowicz allowed multiple runs in ten of his previous 11 starts and recorded a bloated 7.82 ERA in July. I am backing the White Sox to score at least three runs against him in the opening few innings. Sean Burke, on the other hand, has better numbers than Kochanowicz, but I believe he will be under heavy fire from the hosts, who will be desperate to avoid a sweep and score as many runs as possible following last night’s dud. Go with Over.
