MLB FREE PICK: Take Chicago. According to the latest MLB trends, the White Sox are 4-1 in their last 5 games vs. a right-handed starter. 19-7 in their last 26 vs. American League West. 5-2 in their last 7 overall. Angels are 2-5 in their last 7 home games, 2-6 in their last 8 home games vs. a left-handed starter,  3-9 in their last 12 home games vs. a team with a winning road record and are 4-11 in Haren's last 15 home starts. The Angels' chances are slipping away to win a wild card, while the White Sox will probably need to win the AL Central. Every game is big for the White Sox who send another tough lefty to the mound against an Angels team that is not hitting lately. Haren lost 4-2 on August 5 to the White Sox in Chicago. He's pitched better as of late but it was against Oakland and Kansas City.
