Los Angeles Angels
The Angels have started off the year very strong. I do think they have surprised some people.
I am not shocked they are playing a good brand of baseball but I did not see this kind of start happening. Winning 13 of their first 20 games is not something you see all too often with this group.
For a while now, this is a team that has been middling and really has not been relevant. Although they look good now, it is hard not to think they will eventually become what we have become used to seeing.
There is no doubt they certainly have the pieces to be better than they have been in past years. I would say they still need work in the pitching department but there is some improvement in that area.
Being able to win the AL West is still going to be a big challenge for this group. The Mariners are a serious threat and you would expect the Astros to get stronger as the year progresses. I still have to see more from LA before I can make any bold claims about them.
The Angels were able to complete the sweep of the Guardians on Thursday by winning 4-1. They did just what they needed to do in that series.
Even though they have not played great so far this season, this series with the Sox will be a hard one. They cannot take them lightly even with their poor record.
Reid Detmers put forth a strong effort in the finale with the Tribe and Noah Syndergaard will look to be effective when he faces the Sox. So far, he is 2-0 with an ERA of 2.12.
Chicago White Sox
The way the White Sox have started this season is certainly not the way they would have wished for it to begin. We shall see if they can improve as the season goes on.
Solely based on the talent they have on their roster, you would expect there to be a better play in the future. They are too good to be sitting with a record of 7-11.
Currently, both the Twins and Royals are ahead of them in their division. That should certainly make some people do a double-take.
A lot of people will point to injuries as a reason why they have struggled but that is not just it. Everyone deals with those sorts of things and it is the responsibility of a ball club to work around adversity such as that.
Given the fact that the Central is not particularly strong, it is still very reasonable to expect them to win that. There is really no team in that division that should strike fear into them.
One team that they really should watch out for is the Angels. This series with Los Angeles is not going to be an easy one and it will be a big test for this team.
Chicago was not able to get the job done on Thursday in the 5-2 loss to the Royals. Michael Kopech looked effective in his start but that was not enough to get the result they wanted.
The Southsiders will turn to their ace on Friday to try and start off this series in a good way. Whenever he is on the mound, they feel good with their chances.

Los Angeles Angels vs. Chicago White Sox MLB Prediction:
This is a very good matchup between two solid teams and I look for it to be a close one.
The Angels are more than capable in this game and I expect them to be competitive in it. It would not surprise me if they won the game outright, actually.
I look for both Syndergaard and Giolito to be solid here. Once the game goes to the pen, I trust the Sox a bit more than the Angels.
I will play the Angels getting the run in a close one.
