The Angels come in cold, losers of four of their past five games. Scoring has been the main issue ge3tting shut out twice by the Dodgers and being held to three and four runs in hitter friendly Coors in the other two defeats. They’ll be facing Dylan Cease who appears to be rounding into form holding the opposition to two or fewer runs in each of his last four starts.
The Angels are going with Reid Detmers who has looked good in his last three outings allowing two earned runs over 18 2/3 innings. This will be his first start against the White Sox which is typically an advantage for the pitcher. Take the Under 8.5 -119. Football is coming!
