Game Notes For Saturday
*The White Sox have felt right at home at in Anaheim, especially the starting pitchers. Check out the last 7 meetings where the Sox are 6-1, lead in ERA 2.53 vs. 4.29, 7 quality starts vs. 2 for the Angels, have outhomered Anaheim 8-3, and not surprisingly lead in runs per game 5.0 to 2.6
*With a win tonight or tomorrow, the Sox would snap the Angels MLB-leading streak of home series won at 8. The Yankees have the second longest streak at 6.
*Jose Contreras has been unhittable since late August. Since August 21, he is 14-1 including the postseason. His only loss during that time was in Game 1 of the ALCS to the Angels 3-2.
*Scott Podsednik and Tadahito Iguchi set the table for the Sox last night with five hits, a walk, and four RBIs. They have combined for 27 runs, 12 extra-base hits, 18 RBI, and 5 steals in the Sox wins and only 3 runs, 1 extra-base hit, and no RBI or steals in the Sox losses.
