The White Sox have had a pretty miserable season and those bad vibes were on full display in Tuesday night’s loss to the Angels, which ended in embarrassing fashion for Chicago.
In case you missed it, the White Sox gave up the game-winning run in the bottom of the ninth even though the Angels didn’t get a single hit in the final frame. Mike Trout and Shohei Ohtani both walked and then both stole a base. Trout then raced home from third base on a wild pitch thrown by Aaron Bummer.

Both the Dodgers and the Angels are favored in tonight’s action, and we are willing to bet they both pull off wins behind their aces, but there’s not a lot of value in betting the moneyline or even the run line; however, there is value betting on both starters and their K props. Don’t fade these studs, and snap up the value while you can. You can also try a simple same-game parlay with an alternate K prop to create a plus-money payout at SI Sportsbook.
Bet: Clayton Kershaw over 6.
