The Angels are coming into this game with a 27-22 record overall and they are 12-9 in their road games this season where they will be in this game. They are coming into this game on a 5 game losing streak. They just lost their 4-game series against the Toronto Blue Jays getting swept 4-0, had Monday off as a rest day, and they are playing the series opener of a 3-game series with the Yankees on Tuesday. This will be the 1st game of the series on Tuesday. Patrick Sandoval was the starting pitcher for them on Sunday while Noah Syndergaard will be on the mound for them here on Tuesday. He is 4-2 with a 3.08 ERA this season. His team won 2 of their last 3 games this season with him starting. In his last start, he allowed 1 ER, 1 HR, and 0 BB with 5 Ks on 4 hits in 8 IP against the Texas Rangers. They scored 21 runs in their last series averaging just over 5 runs scored per game in that span and they allowed 27 runs against them averaging just under 7 runs allowed per game.

 

The Yankees are coming into this game with a 33-15 record overall and they are 17-7 in their home games this season where they will be in this game. They are coming into this game on a 2 game losing streak. They just split their 4-game series against the Tampa Bay Rays 2-2, had Monday off as a rest day, and they are playing the series opener of a 3-game series with the Angels on Tuesday. This will be the 1st game of the series on Tuesday. Luis Severino is the starting pitcher for them on Monday while Jordan Montgomery will be on the mound for them here on Tuesday. He is 0-1 with a 3.30 ERA this season. His team lost 3 of their last 4 games this season with him as a starter. In his last start, he allowed 2 earned runs, 1 homer, and 0 BB with 5 strikeouts on 4 hits in 6 innings played against the Baltimore Orioles. They scored 12 runs in their last series averaging 3 runs scored per game in that span and they allowed 9 runs against them averaging just under 2 runs allowed per game.

 

The Angels are coming into this game as a slight underdog with the current betting odds. They are coming off of an awful series at home where they were swept in all 4 games by the Jays and now they start a road trip with the team who has the best record in the MLB right now. They are going up against a Yankees team that just lost 2 straight games in Tampa and have been starting to cool off a little after a very strong run they were on. Montgomery is starting for them though and he has not been great this season, he has not been bad either but the team has been losing a lot of the games he recently started in. The Angels are going to be hungry for a win after getting swept at home in 4 games and they have Syndergaard on the mound here who has been good this season and is also pitching with a chip on his shoulder. This is a good spot for the Angels to steal a win from the Yankees on the road here. The best bet here is on the Angels to win this game.
