White Sox vs Angels Prediction
Both of these teams have picked up one win so far in the series and will go for the series win here. Chicago jumped on the Angels in game one with an 8-1 win, but they were shutout in game two. Los Angeles needs to find some offense, as they have scored a grand total of two runs through two games. I don’t love either starting pitcher in this game, but Kochanowicz did have a decent season last year in limited time in the majors, so I will back the Angels here.
