I'm not fond of either starting pitcher, nor of either team's bullpen. Both teams are swinging hots bats, too. So I find this total short.

The White Sox are averaging six runs per game during their last six games. The Angels are putting up 5.2 runs per game during their past five games.

I see offense prevailing here with a starting pitching matchup of Miguel Gonzalez versus Matt Shoemaker.

Gonzalez is in bad form with a 6.62 ERA in his last three starts. He's fortunate his ERA isn't even higher during this span as he's allowed 28 hits and six walks during his last 17 2/3 innings surrendering four homers in this time frame.

Gonzalez pitches worse on the road and Shoemaker pitches worse at home where his ERA is 5.48. Shoemaker also has a career 4.15 ERA against the White Sox.

Slated home plate umpire Brian Gorman has shown a slight bias to the Over during the last two years with 56 percent of his 25 games behind the plate resulting in an over. The weather forecast is for a slight wind blowing out to left field.
