Angels' Lefty starter Sandoval has made a huge jump from last year. In three starts, he is yet to give up a run. He pitched 7 innings of shutout ball in his last start, striking out 9. I wonder if this success is sustainable, but if anything, he has improved each time out, increasing his strikeouts and limiting walks.

Dylan Cease starts for the Sox. Cease has not pitched poorly, especially in his first two starts, but he has slipped since then, giving up 6 runs total in his last 2 starts. Walks have been an issue.

The Angels' pen is actually outperforming the White Sox' at the moment, and there is no contest in offense. The 15-8 Angels are hitting for average and power with the 2nd best OPA in the league. The slumping White Sox are well down the list, with the 4th worst OPS. The Angels have been very successful on the road. The White Sox are considered a modest favorite. I have my doubts, and so should you. I am willing to back Sandoval over Cease. Take the Angels to win.
