White Sox vs Angels Prediction, Picks & Odds — Sunday, August 3

Lenyn Sosa isn't a household name, but the White Sox IF has been racking up total bases with relative ease. He will make the most of facing the Angels pitch-to-contact righty Jack Kochanowicz today.

The Chicago White Sox will try to finish off the sweep when they conclude their three-game set against the Los Angeles Angels this afternoon.

Chicago second baseman Lenyn Sosa has been nearly unstoppable over the past week, and my White Sox vs. Angels predictions explain how he fits into our MLB picks on Sunday, August 3.

White Sox vs Angels prediction

My White Sox vs Angels best bet: Lenyn Sosa Over 1.5 total bases (+115 at Caesars)

Like the Chicago White Sox, who are 10-4 since the All-Star Game, Lenyn Sosa has been a pleasant surprise down the stretch.

The second baseman is no Sammy Sosa, but he is batting an incredible .550 over the past week, and .370 since the break with a team-leading 17 hits to go along with 12 RBI and 25 total bases.

Sosa collected just one single in Chicago’s win on Saturday, but had multiple hits and 2+ total bases in each of his previous four outings.

This afternoon’s matchup against Los Angeles Angels starter Jack Kochanowicz should be a favorable one for Sosa as well. The right-hander carries a lofty 5.75 ERA and a 1.62 WHIP while opposing teams are batting .288 against Kochanowicz.

The righty-hitting Sosa has fared better against same-handed pitching this season, boasting a .291 average and a .781 OPS vs righties compared to a .260/.655 split vs. lefties.

Lenyn Sosa Over 1.5 total bases

White Sox moneyline

Under 10.5

The White Sox are +110 on the moneyline this afternoon, which I find a bit surprising given their current form.

Yes, they are the worst team in the AL on paper, but they’re hot and rank second in the majors with 91 runs scored since the All-Star Game. Meanwhile, Los Angeles is 4-8 over its last 12 while averaging just 3.4 runs per game over that span.

Finally, the White Sox have finished Under 10.5 in six of their last seven, while the Angels have done so in 10 of 11.
