Chicago White Sox

The White Sox come into Sunday's series finale with two consecutive wins in Anaheim, including a shutout victory on Saturday. Despite their last place standing in the AL Central, with a record of 42-69, the team has shown signs of improvement by winning three of their last four games. Saturday's win was led by a strong bullpen and a home run from Colson Montgomery, who has been on a hot streak recently. Although the team continues to struggle offensively, ranking low in runs scored and batting average, they have seen a recent surge in power hitting and improved pitching.

Sean Burke will be the starting pitcher for Chicago, with a record of 4-8 and a 4.17 ERA. He has been consistent in limiting walks and keeping the ball in play, which will be important against a potentially dangerous Angels lineup. The White Sox's pitching staff has been a strong point recently, with an ERA of 4.01 over their last 10 games. If Burke can set the tone early and the bullpen continues to perform well, the team has a good chance of completing the series sweep.

Los Angeles Angels

The Los Angeles Angels are looking to bounce back after dropping the first two games of the series against the White Sox. Despite a frustrating 1-0 defeat on Saturday, the Angels remain focused on salvaging the series. With a record of 53-58, they have slipped further behind in the AL Wild Card race. The offense has struggled to score runs, despite out-hitting the White Sox in the previous game. Pitcher Jack Kochanowicz will need to be on top of his game against a powerful White Sox lineup. Despite recent struggles, the Angels have shown they are capable of explosive innings, ranking high in home runs and slugging. The team will look to reset the tone and avoid a sweep at home before hitting the road again.

White Sox Primed for Sweep as Pitching Dominates Angels

The White Sox have gained significant momentum in the first two games of the series, positioning themselves well for a sweep on Sunday. Chicago's pitching has been exceptional, limiting the Angels to a solitary run over 18 innings. Sean Burke has been instrumental in maintaining this trend, showcasing reliability particularly against weaker opponents. The Angels' recent struggles with capitalizing on runners on base play to Burke's strengths. With Colson Montgomery performing well and the bullpen in top form, the White Sox are on track for another low-scoring victory. Their offense is efficient, requiring only a few timely hits to secure a win. Montgomery's power hitting has given the team a boost. Andrew Benintendi and Edgar Quero's contributions at bat could prove crucial. With the Angels struggling and Jack Kochanowicz lacking consistency, the White Sox are likely to secure another close victory, anticipated to fall within the range of 3-1 or 4-2, supported by solid pitching and adequate offense.
