Los Angeles at Chicago

The Chicago White Sox are better than the team we saw two years ago, but the progress has slowed as they enter this game at 12-17 on the season. The pitching has let them down as they have allowed 75 runs in their last 14 games, or 5.4 a contest. The Angels' offense is pretty good, but they went through a recent stretch in which they scored just 17 runs in seven games, or a woeful 2.4 runs per game. The bats have turned things around, scoring 16 runs in their last two games. They have a weapon on the mound tonight behind Jose Soriano. Soriano is 5-0 with a 0.24 ERA on the season. He has allowed one run in six starts, which is hard to ignore. Play the Angels in this one.
