The Los Angeles Angels (53-56) look to capitalize on their home field advantage as they host the struggling Chicago White Sox (40-69) in Friday's series opener at Angel Stadium, with veteran lefty Tyler Anderson (3.19 ERA at home) taking the mound against Chicago's unannounced starter.
Despite sitting 4.5 games out of a wild card spot, the power-hitting Angels (4th in MLB with 155 home runs) have an opportunity to gain ground against a White Sox team that has surprisingly won eight of their last 12 games after trading away top starter Adrian Houser at the deadline.

Los Angeles Angels vs. Chicago White Sox preview
The White Sox roll into Anaheim riding an unexpected hot streak, winning eight of their last 12 games despite being 29 games under .500 and already waving the white flag by trading away starter Adrian Houser at the deadline.
Meanwhile, the Angels find themselves in the peculiar position of being playoff longshots on paper but just 4.5 games out of a Wild Card spot—making this series potentially more meaningful than their respective records might suggest.
Chicago's offense has mysteriously come alive recently, batting a robust .287 while averaging 6.6 runs over their last ten games, a dramatic improvement for a team that ranks near the MLB basement in most offensive categories this season.
Angels starter Tyler Anderson brings a deceptive 2-6 record to the mound, but the veteran lefty has been significantly better at home with a 3.19 ERA at Angel Stadium, where Los Angeles has won eight of his last ten starts against sub-.500 teams.
The contrast in styles should make for compelling baseball: Chicago's suddenly hot bats against Anderson's home-field advantage, and the Angels' power-hitting lineup (4th in MLB with 155 homers) facing Chicago's unannounced starter.
Despite their mediocre 53-56 record, the Angels have quietly been one of the most profitable betting teams in the American League this season, suggesting they've consistently exceeded expectations despite their obvious bullpen struggles.
