Key Storylines to Watch
Pitching Form: The Angels will go with Tyler Anderson to start this contest on the mound. Anderson is 2-6 and has a 4.41 ERA this season. The White Sox have yet to decide on a starting pitcher for this game. Which direction the White Sox go on the mound will have a huge impact on how this game goes.
Bullpen Usage: Both bullpens will be fresh going into this game. Both teams had Thursday off and should be in a position to reset their bullpens for this matchup. The White Sox have a much better bullpen ERA than the Angels going into this game.
Team Momentum: Both teams are playing well of late. The White Sox got a shocking series win by taking two out of three games against the Philadelphia Phillies in their last series. The Angels have won three of their last four games. That includes two wins out of three against the Texas Rangers in their most recent series.
