Starting Pitchers

Johnny Cueto pitched 5.1 innings and allowed seven hits and three earned runs in a 4-0 White Sox loss to the Baltimore Orioles last Thursday. Cueto has pitched fairly well this season with a 3.19 ERA and a 1.15 WHIP in 48 innings, but he has only a 1-4 record to show for it.

Chase Silseth lasted only 1.2 innings in a 10-0 loss to the Philadelphia Phillies in his last start on June 3, allowing four hits and four earned runs before being pulled out of the game. Silseth was sent back down to the minor leagues after recording a 4.96 ERA and a 1.47 WHIP across his first four starts, and he’ll try to earn a permanent spot on the roster this time around.

Tony La Russa On The Hot Seat As White Sox Continue To Struggle

Chicago fell to 1-5 over its last six games with Monday night’s 4-3 loss to the Angels. The White Sox dropped three of four games at home to the lowly Baltimore Orioles over the weekend as chants of “Fire Tony” routinely rained down from the stands. 

Tony La Russa’s hiring was controversial when it happened last year as the White Sox were a promising team loaded with young talent and La Russa was an older manager who hadn’t guided a club in 10 years. With the White Sox performing well below expectations with a 34-38 record this season, that controversy has only intensified.

Strong Pitching Has Helped Los Angeles Turn Things Around

The Angels improved to 7-5 over their last 12 games with Monday’s win. That’s not exactly a dominant 12-game stretch, but it is a welcome step in the right direction for a club that went just 2-18 over its previous 20 games.

Los Angeles is now 7-0 in its last seven games when allowing three runs or less and an astonishing 1-25 in its last 26 games when allowing four runs or more. Bettors taking Los Angeles as their White Sox vs Angels prediction Tuesday night will clearly be rooting for Silseth and the Angels bullpen to keep Chicago’s offense in check.

White Sox vs Angels Pick & Insights

White Sox: Keys To Victory

Los Angeles’ offense hasn’t produced many big games in recent months, and Johnny Cueto has allowed three runs or less in all but one of his eight starts this season. If those trends continue, Cueto should put his team in position to have a legitimate shot at an upset as a White Sox vs Angels prediction on Tuesday.

Angels: Keys To Victory

As shown above, the Angels have not been winning games with their bats this season. Chase Silseth is one of the team’s top pitching prospects, and he’ll likely need to pitch to his potential in this matchup to help Los Angeles emerge as the winning White Sox vs Angels pick.
