Chicago White Sox vs Los Angeles Angels Prediction
It would be nice to know who the Angels are throwing on the mound but who cares? The Angels are looking more and more like teams from past seasons and they’re not a team I’m excited to back. The White Sox are competing and winning, and Fedde has looked solid with a 3.24 ERA and 1.05 WHIP. The Angels are getting respect in the betting market and I don’t get it. This team is awful. Give me the White Sox and the pick ’em price.
