Chicago White Sox vs Los Angeles Angels Prediction & Picks - MLB

Prediction published on 8/3/25, 12:56 PM  by Carlos Zabala | Modified on 8/3/25 at 6:55 PM in MLB Picks

The White Sox took the first two games of the series against the Angels in Los Angeles, against an opponent that, even in their slumps, Chicago almost always managed to beat. On Sunday, Burke, with a 4-8 record and a 4.17 ERA, will start for the White Sox in their quest to sweep the Angels; Kochanowicz will start for Los Angeles. At a glance, this could be a probable matchup for a total OVER game, considering Burke issued 48 walks and Kochanowicz 47, both in around 100 innings pitched this season.

This White Sox team is exciting for their 2026 season, but already in this one, they are showing signs that they could become a hitting team very soon. Although they won Saturday's game 1-0, they won Friday's game 6-3: Benintendi, Lenyn Sosa, Luis Robert, and Montgomery all homered. For Sox SS Montgomery, it's already 3 HRs since July 28th.

However, when the White Sox didn't generate much offense on Saturday, Civale responded on the mound, earning praise from his catcher and manager by pitching 6-1 scoreless innings with just one hit and 8 strikeouts.
