The Chicago White Sox are a team that has actually looked somewhat decent at times this year. However, the White Sox are a team that definitely has found some points that need to have some improvement for next year. The downside is that tends to mean the White Sox fans have to wait until next year for the team to look different.

With the Angels they have managed to find some of the ways that they are able to make some changes this year, but also seen the power that Trout can bring to the field when he is healthy. However, with some of the holes in the Angels lineup they have to find a way to support Trout and provide the pitchers with the staff that is needed to really lock down the wins to help prove that the team is capable of winning the big games. Dylan Cease is the White Sox starter in this game. So far Cease has ended up posting a 2-5 record and a 5.54 ERA. He has thrown a total of 39 innings striking out only 35 batters, but has given up 41 hits with 20 walks.

For the Angels they are putting Griffin Canning on the mound in this game. Canning has ended up with a 4-6 record and a 4.86 ERA. He has thrown a total of 83.1 innings on the year with 88 strikeouts, but has walked 29 batters while giving up 75 hits.

The Angels are a team that has looked decent and does have some talent to support Trout this year. The big difference is the fact that the Angels do not have a pitching staff that has locked down the wins against decent opponents this year. While the White Sox are a team that has done decent, their pitching is not helping them out either and playing on the road will make it even harder for the White Sox to be a serious threat. Final Score Prediction, Los Angeles Angels win 5-3.
