Free MLB Pick

The Angles have the 9th-ranked scoring offense (4.87 runs per game) in the majors, but they haven’t been performing at that level in recent games. LAA has scored four or fewer runs in six of their last eight games and is averaging 3.25 RPG. The White Sox send out Michael Kopech and while his seasonal numbers are only marginally better than his counterpart Griffin Canning, his current form is substantially better. Take the Chisox -136.
