* The Angels have won four of the past five games against the White Sox in Chicago.
* The Angels are 6-4 in their past 10 games, and it has been their offense determining their fate. Los Angeles has scored 54 runs in its last six wins (9.0 per game), but just five runs in its last four losses (1.3 per game).
* Chicago is just 23-37 since the break, the worst record in the AL and trailing only Florida (21-36) in the majors.
* Los Angeles is more than happy to get Chone Figgins back. Since returning earlier this month from a sprained left wrist, Figgins is torching the ball, hitting .563 with four doubles and adding four stolen bases as well.
* Bartolo Colon has not followed up his 21-win 2005 season very well. In the last two seasons, he is just 7-11 with an ERA of 6.08.
* Jose Contreras began his career with four consecutive winning seasons, compiling a 48-27 record, but this year his losses have doubled his wins at 8-16.
