The Chicago White Sox and Los Angeles Angels face off on Wednesday in an MLB Showdown at Angel Stadium. The two teams have split the first two games of this series.
The White Sox come into this game with a 35-38 record overall and the offense finally broke out on Tuesday. Overall this season the White Sox’s offense has been an issue this season averaging 4.13 runs per game which is 22nd in the league. The pitching has also been a big issue giving up 4.85 runs per game. Luis Robert is having a big season hitting eight home runs and driving in 38 RBIs.
On the other side of this matchup is the Angels who sit with a 36-41 record overall and they won two games in a row before losing on Tuesday. In the two wins the pitching was good, but it let them down again on Tuesday. Overall the pitching has been good this season averaging 4.09 runs per game. Shohei Ohtani has been the top player for the Angels hitting 17 home runs and driving in 49 RBIs.
On the mound for the White Sox is Michael Kopech who sits with a 2-4 record and an ERA of 2.59.
On the mound for the Angels will be Shohei Ohtani who sits with a 6-4 record and an ERA of 2.90. In his last start against the Kansas City Royals, he went eight innings giving up two hits and zero runs.
The Ange’s are 4-0 in Ohtani’s last four starts against the American League Central. The White Sox are 0-4 in Kopech’s last 4 starts following a team loss in their previous game. The under is 5-0 in the White Sox’s last five games on grass.
Ohtani is pitching well again and in his last start he gave up zero runs. Kopech has also been good this season sitting with an ERA of 2.59. Both of these offenses haven’t been great this season, and I expect runs are going to be very hard to come by in this game by both teams. Back the under to cash.
