Angels vs White Sox Prediction
I’m not sure what the Angels have done to be favored, but I’m not buying it. Yes, Soriano has been great with his 0.84 ERA and 0.94 WHIP through 42.2 innings. However, the Angels are nine games below a .500 record and they can’t string together any offense lately. The White Sox are coming off a strong week and Martin has been great in his own right. In 37 innings, Martin has a 1.95 ERA and 1.08 WHIP. Two pitchers are in fabulous form, but one team is hitting and winning; the other isn’t. I’ll take the more favorable price with the White Sox.
