The over is 5-0 in White Sox last 5 overall. The Angels are 10-4 in the last 14 meetings in Chicago and 39-19 in the last 58 meetings.
Randy’s Pick
The Chicago White Sox are getting the benefit of the doubt because they’re at home, and the Angels are in a bit of a funk right now. However, I’m not excited to back Lance Lynn in the favorite role with his 5.83 ERA and 1.45 WHIP. While a smaller sample size, Jaime Barria has been terrific, and that includes 0 earned runs in his last 12.2 innings. Give me the road dog with the quick turnaround.
