Los Angeles Angels vs. Chicago White Sox Prediction

I’m on the over in this game. You have two starting pitchers I don’t really trust in Kochanowicz and Kay, two questionable bullpens on both sides and two lineups that have some powerful bats that can leave the yard. I think this is going to end up being a higher-scoring game so give me the over in this one.
