Angels at White Sox picks and predictions

Prediction

Angels 5, White Sox 4

I’ll back the ANGELS (+120) on the road in Monday’s showdown despite that they have lost 3 straight games. The White Sox are 12-13 at home this season and it’s tough to predict what version of Kopech we’ll get.

PASS.

Unless you can get the Angels +1.5 at -160 odds or better, then it’s not worth wagering on the run line in this contest.

LEAN OVER 8.5 (-120).

With both pitchers being susceptible to giving up multiple runs, the Over is an enticing wager in this game. The White Sox are 4-0 to the Over in their last 4 games overall.
