Angels at Yankees picks and predictions
Prediction
Yankees 4, Angels 3
Moneyline
PASS.
Unless you can get the Yankees at -160 or better in this matchup, then I’d refrain from wagering on the money line.
Run line/Against the spread
ANGELS +1.5 (-140) is the pick in this contest with both teams having talented pitchers on the mound. The Angels should be able to keep this game close with the Yankees boasting a league-worst .186 batting average against southpaws this season.

Over/Under
With Sandoval and Cortes on the bump for Thursday’s showdown, UNDER 8.5 (-115) is an enticing bet. There haven’t been more than 7 runs scored in either of the 1st 2 games of this series.
The Under is 4-0 in the last 4 meetings in New York and 6-1 in the last 7 meetings overall.
