Yankees at Angels picks and predictions
Prediction
Yankees 5, Angels 3
The Yankees (-190) will likely hand Los Angeles its fourth straight loss, but the preferred play is to bet them on the run line at greater odds.
PASS on the ML.
Two of New York’s last 3 games have ended in Yankees wins by at least 4 runs. They’ve scored 5 or more runs in 3 straight contests, while Rodón has allowed just 1 run over 11 innings across his last 2 starts. Conversely, Anderson has surrendered 4 or more runs in back-to-back outings.
BET YANKEES -1.5 (-120).
The Under has hit in each of Rodón’s last 2 starts and in 10 of the Yankees’ last 12 games overall. However, this isn’t an official play, as the Over has cashed in 5 straight outings for Anderson.
LEAN UNDER 9 (-115).
