The Chicago White Sox (+103) are playing the Los Angeles Angels (-115) at 9:38 PM EDT today. The run total is set at 8.5.
The Sox are coming off of an opening day loss last night, 4-3. The culprit in this one is sophomore Nick Madrigal. The young second baseman made 2 costly errors in the latter portion of the game.
The Sox did get a home run from returning veteran Adam Eaton. Eaton last played with the White Sox in 2016, and will now play a pivotal role with the recent injury to Eloy Jimenez. The right fielder was also a part of the 2019 World Series champion Washington Nationals.
Tonight’s matchup will feature two veteran starters in Dallas Keuchel and Andrew Heaney. Both are southpaws, so expect different lineups for each team tonight to counter the platoon.
With the White Sox being slight underdogs in this game, one would expect them to rebound from their late-inning loss last night. Therefore, we are taking the White Sox money line as our pick in this matchup. The Sox are actually regarded as second favorites in the American League next to the New York Yankees, thus the bar is set high for Tony LaRussa and his squad.
