Chicago White Sox (35-115) vs. Los Angeles Angels (60-89)
The Chicago White Sox is currently going through one of their difficult seasons in history; this can be depicted not only in their overall win-loss record but also in their performance of late. Even though the team clinched two games in a row that were played against Oakland with scores 4-3 and 7-6, respectively, there is no doubt that they did poorly in other games that followed against Cleveland 0-5 and 4-6 and Oakland 0-2. All these were on the road and judging by their away ATS record of 29-43, they seem to have a problem when out of their home comforts.

On the other hand, the Angels have not done too much better, as they are currently on a five-game losing streak, which features three losses to Houston and two more to Minnesota. Even though they currently stand a little above the White Sox in the standings, their recent results do not inspire such hope, and they continue to search for stability at home and away.

Jonathan Cannon (3-10, 4.56 ERA) vs. Reid Detmers (4-6, 5.64 ERA)
Jonathan Cannon of the White Sox appears to be within expectations in innings pitched, with a 3-10 record and a 4.56 ERA. His resilience is commendable, especially since he surrendered a total of 115 hits and recorded 74 strikeouts in about 106.2 innings pitched.
For the Angels, Reid Detmers has a record of four wins and six losses with a comparatively higher earned run average of 5.64, showing some offense with his 74 hits in just 75 innings. So far, he has delivered 88 strikeouts, which is impressive, but the fact that the ERA and the WHIP are so high means that he is giving away too many runs when he should be keeping them at bay.
MLB Odds/Point Spread: Los Angeles Angels -185, Total Odds: 8
After examining the betting odds, one can see that the Angels are around -185 favorites. Perhaps the reason behind the toughest line upon the Angels is their belief in the ability to take advantage of the underwhelming White Sox, even if the Angels themselves have been quite mediocre as well. The over/under of 8 implies that a fairly close scoring game is expected, and the line fits well with the recent OVER trends on both teams.
Chicago White Sox Betting Trends
The White Sox have shown some troubling signs, as they have won only 2 of the last 5 games straight up and against the spread. Their road game ATS is 29-43, and it is evident that there are problems with playing away from home.
Los Angeles Angels Betting Trends
Over their last 5 attempts, the Angels have failed to win, including wins against spread. Their slightly better overall record in road games against the spread (38-36) does not apply here as they are the home team where they have been performing below the board.
Chicago White Sox vs. Los Angeles Angels 9/16/24 Betting Picks
Taking into account the form of both teams lately and the statistics of the starting pitchers, it seems likely that this game might be slightly more in favor for the Angels, especially considering the fact that they have a little bit better offensive stats than the White Sox who have had a miserable season record. Still, however, one can consider the White Sox with a +1.5 spread as a safe bet, though common wisdom says otherwise, given the fact that the Angels have been horrible at finishing off games.
As for prop bets and over/under, the latest trend indicates the OVER should be bet on the total of 8 runs, as the teams had just terrible defense over the recent games. Both pitchers have been struggling of late, and thus, we can expect a bigger spread on the OVER, given these quality premium matchup selections.
