Angels at White Sox picks and predictions
Prediction
Moneyline
Lynn has been dominant lately and has recorded a win in 4 of his last 5 starts. The White Sox have been improving at home and are 5-1 in their last 6 at Guaranteed Rate Field vs. right-handed starters. The Angels are 24th in runs over the last 3 games and do not appear to be breaking out of their slump.
BET WHITE SOX (-135)
Run line/Against the spread
The White Sox are just 1-3 in their last 4 games and expecting Chicago to beat Los Angeles by multiple runs in back-to-back contests is a tough ask. Angels +1.5 (-175) should hit, but there is no need to pay the higher price on the run line when the White Sox moneyline is the better play. Bet Chicago moneyline and/or the total instead.
