LA Angels vs Chicago White Sox Prediction
Chicago comes into this game on a very rare winning streak after winning their last two games against Oakland, but they are just 15-57 on the road this season. Los Angeles is 30-45 at home this year and they are trying to avoid their sixth straight loss. Both starting pitchers have some ugly numbers in this matchup, but Detmers has been pretty strong since coming off of the IL. I really don’t trust either of these teams, but I will continue to fade possibly the worst team in MLB history. Take the Angels -1.5 here.
