Sport: MLBPick Selection: angels
At 8:10pm our selection is on the Los Angeles Angels over the Chicago White Sox. The White Sox are on fire lately, having won eight straight games. What's amazing about Chicago being 26-20 at this stage is that they're doing it with the second-worst team batting average in the American League at .248. This tells you that the White Sox probably cannot continue winning games at this pace, but they are sure going to enjoy it while it lasts. Their batting average is even worse against lefties (.243) and tonight they face one of the best in the American League this season in the Angels' 26 year old Joe Saunders. Saunders has done everything that's been asked of him this season and then some. He is the prototypical "crafty lefty" who doesn't throw particularly hard (only 25 strikeouts in almost 62 innings) but knows how to change speeds and paint the corners effectively. It also doesn't matter much where Saunders is pitching as he is 4-0 with a 2.72 ERA at home and an even more impressive 3-1 with a 2.13 ERA on the road. The Angels are also slightly better on the road than at home. Take Los Angeles. As always, good luck...Al McMordie.
