The New York Yankees (76-55) and Los Angeles Angels (65-67) continue a three-game series at Angel Stadium Tuesday. First pitch is slated for 9:38 p.m. ET. Let’s analyze the lines around the Yankees vs. Angels odds with MLB picks and predictions.
RHP Jameson Taillon is the projected starting pitcher for the Yankees. He is 8-4 with a 4.18 ERA, 1.23 WHIP, 8.9 K/9 and 2.7 BB/9 through 127 IP spanning 25 starts.
- Coming off a rocky outing at the Oakland Athletics with 5 ER in 3 2/3 IP Thursday; it came after posting a 2.12 ERA over his previous eight starts.
- Has pitched much better at home with a 3.36 ERA and 1.08 WHIP compared to road rates of a 5.18 ERA and 1.41 WHIP.
RHP Jaime Barria (2-2, 5.56 ERA) will make his seventh start of the season. Across six starts and two relief appearances, he has a 1.53 WHIP, 5.0 K/9 and 3.4 BB/9 over 34 IP.
- Owns much better numbers at home than on the road. Over the last three seasons, Barria has clocked a 3.00 ERA at Angel Stadium and a 7.70 mark elsewhere.
- Failed to go more than 3 1/3 IP in each of his last three starts with a 9.72 ERA over that stretch.

Prediction
Angels 6, Yankees 5
Money line (ML)
New York won 13 straight games before having that run snapped by the Oakland Athletics Saturday, but the Yankees also lost Sunday in Oakland and Monday in this series opener in L.A.
Winners of an 8-7 game Monday night, the Angels are just 3-6 over their last nine games.
The Yankees have been a decent betting proposition over much of the second half, but that reservoir of leverage is drying up as their win percentage nears the high .500s. With some fade-Taillon lean in play added to a slip in sometimes-hard-to-recapture mojo, there is plenty of profit in going against New York Tuesday.
TAKE LOS ANGELES (+160).

Run line/Against the spread (ATS)
With an Over in play, PASS on trying to edge the Angels within one if they don’t win.
Over/Under (O/U)
The Angels sport decent home numbers with a .775 OPS, and the Yankees still have been flying under the radar with their batting talent and quality of contact.
An outward breeze and a fair amount of humidity are in the weather forecast.
TAKE THE OVER 9.5 (-110).
