Los Angeles Angels (63-93) vs. Chicago White Sox (36-120)
The Los Angeles Angels are winding down a challenging season, one marked by underperformance and missed opportunities. However, their recent form shows signs of life, especially in their latest face-off where they clinched a narrow 9-8 victory over the Houston Astros.

In contrast, the Chicago White Sox are cementing their place as one of the weaker squads this season, evidenced by their dire 36-120 record. Their recent outings provide little hope for a turnaround, suffering five straight losses, with their latest being a 2-4 defeat against the San Diego Padres. Their struggle to close games, particularly at home, is a glaring issue, with only 2 wins in their last 18 games at Guaranteed Rate Field.

Jack Kochanowicz (2-5, 4.56 ERA) vs. Jonathan Cannon (4-10, 4.61 ERA)
This time, we got Jack Kochanowicz from the Angels and Jonathan Cannon from the White Sox as the starters for both teams. Even though Kochanowicz holds a record of 2-5 and an ERA of 4.56 for the season, he does reveal some potential for controlling the game with a WHIP of 1.32 over 51.1 innings pitched. He seemed to have good stuff limiting free passes and home runs, which could be especially useful in this game given the White Sox’s low-scoring offense.
On the other hand, even Jonathan Cannon, who has a better record at 4-10, comes into the game with a similar ERA of 4.61. In 113.1 innings pitched by him so far, he has been overworked, with a WHIP of 1.36 and 17 home runs recorded against him. His last appearances show his problems when finishing off innings, which the bats of the Angels should take advantage of tonight.

Los Angeles Angels vs. Chicago White Sox 9/24/24 Betting Picks
Consider a total runs bet considering the present form and the statistics. It can be observed that both teams are relatively weak pitchers and defenders. This makes it plausible that this game would score higher than the odds predict. Besides, the batting is still better than the recent performances of the Angels, which could make them a more secure option on the money line.
For individuals researching prop bets or specific game scenarios, total runs on an over for the first 5 innings might provide some value, considering the starting pitchers’ history of letting runs early.
