Chicago White Sox vs LA Angels Prediction
Nobody is running to the window to back the LA Angels, but as I’ve said all year, the White Sox have been fade material regardless of matchup. Arguably the worst team in baseball history, a $100 bettor is more than $6,100 in the hole backing the White Sox all season. No other team has lost bettors more than $1,700. This is historically bad. There’s nothing else that needs to be said. Give me the Angels, as backing the White Sox isn’t an option.
