Yankees vs Angels Prediction
The current betting odds have the Yankees listed as a big favorite in this game. The Angels have been awful over the last few weeks as they have been picking up a lot of losses recently. They just won their last series against the Blue Jays, taking the first 2 games of the series, but their offense still has not been great overall and neither has their pitching. The Yankees dropped one of their games with the A's over the weekend but they have been getting much better over the last week, winning a lot of their games with some big scores, and they are slowly breaking out of the slump they were in. Their pitching has been a lot better in these games and they have been scoring a lot of runs too. The Angels have been very inconsistent as a team all season and they have an awful record while the Yankees are one of the best teams in the MLB and are trying to lock up this AL East division with their massive lead. They should be able to bounce back in this series and continue their recent streak of winning with another big win in this game. The best way to place a bet here is on the Yankees to win this game on the runline.
