Matchup History

Trends
Chicago is 1-5 in their last 6 road games and 5-11 in their last 16 games overall while the under is 5-1-2 in their last 8 games against the AL West. Los Angeles is 7-3 in their last 10 home games and 11-4 in their last 15 games against a team with a losing record while the under is 7-1 in their last 8 games overall.
Pick
I’m backing the Angels here. Lynn and Sandoval are two pitchers I’m not all that high on in their respective rotations, but there’s no denying that the Angels have been playing the better baseball and while the White Sox have normally been known for hitting well against lefties for some time, they haven’t been doing so as of late and I think the Angels bounce back and get some revenge on the White Sox here.
