Thu May 15 ’08 10:05p
Looking to earn his club a split in this four-game set will be the White Sox Javier Vazquez. This will be his eighth start of the season. He’s 4-3 with a 3.63 ERA and 1.21 WHIP and has only allowed 18 hits and six earned runs in his last 21 1/3rd innings of work. Chicago is 2-2 in his road starts this season splitting his last two starts on the road against Toronto and Seattle. In his career against the Angels, Vazquez is 0-1 with a 2.95 ERA and 0.94 WHIP in three total starts. He last faced them as a member of the NY Yankees back in 2004.

John Garland will make his first start against his former mates after being traded to LA in the off-season. To date, he’s 4-3 with a 4.30 ERA and 1.41 WHIP allowing 58 hits and 28 runs (25 earned) in a shade over 52 innings of work. However, He hasn’t fared well in Angels Stadium going 2-2. His ERA balloons to 6.04 and he’s been tagged for 28 hits and 17 runs in just 25+ innings of work.

This has been a very low scoring series of late with the under cashing in 7 of the L/9 times they’ve squared off in LA, and in 12 of the L/16 overall meetings. Its also 5-2-1 ATS the L/8 times the Angels were installed home underdogs, and 11-3 in the White Sox L/14 road games.
