White Sox first baseman Munetaka Murakami has 14 home runs, tying him with Aaron Judge for the MLB home run lead, yet the Angels have a better offense than the White Sox thanks to Mike Trout staying healthy and Jorge Soler having a strong bounce-back season. The Angels average more runs per game than the White Sox and have a higher batting average. Trout ranks fifth in on-base percentage. Soler has 26 RBI's, which is just two away from tying for the American League lead. The Angels draw Erick Fedde, who has only 22 strikeouts in 33.1 innings and is 0-3. Fedde, who has pitched for five teams, has a career mark of 34-58 with a 4.87 ERA and 1.42 WHIP. Rookie lefty Sam Aldegheri draws his first start of the season for the Angels. The White Sox are 19th in batting average against lefties. Take the Angels.
