Trends

Chicago is 1-4 in their last 5 games overall and 2-6 in their last 8 games against a team with a left-handed starter while the over is 5-0 in their last 5 games overall.
Pick
I’m backing the over here. I just don’t really trust either starting pitcher here as the White Sox have gotten back to the old White Sox that would tee off on left-handed pitching, while the Angels should have some success against Lucas Giolito, a pitcher I’m not all that sold on either as Giolito’s more than capable of getting rung up in a start like this. All in all, I think this has potential to be very high-scoring, so give me the over here.
