Chicago White Sox vs LA Angels Prediction
Chicago was able to pick up the win in game one of this series, as they try to avoid being the first team with 121 losses in a season. The White Sox are 21-58 at home this year, while the Angels are 31-48 on the road. Both of these teams have really struggled over the last few weeks, but Suarez has pitched well in his last three outings. I don’t love this game, but I am always willing to fade the White Sox at a decent price. Take the Angels here.
