The New York Yankees (78-51) battle with the Los Angeles Angels (56-73) Tuesday in the 2nd game of a 3-game set at Angel Stadium. First pitch is set for 9:38 p.m. ET. Let’s analyze Tipico Sportsbook‘s lines around the Yankees vs. Angels odds with MLB picks and predictions.
Season series: Yankees lead 3-1
The Yankees dropped the opener of the series Monday, 4-3, and they have now lost 3 in a row. As hard to believe as it is, the Yankees are just 12-18 over the last 30 games. Fortunately for them, they were so good early on and retain a 7-game lead in the AL East.
The Angels got out to a 4-2 lead after DH Shohei Ohtani‘s 2-run homer in the 5th inning and held on. It was their 4th win in a row, and they are 10-10 over the last 20 games. A lot of that has to do with OF Mike Trout returning and lengthening the lineup. Trout is 12-for-39 (.308) with 4 homers and 7 RBIs across 10 games in August.

Yankees at Angels picks and predictions
Prediction
Angels 4, Yankees 3
Money line
The Yankees have only scored 5 runs once in the last 10 games. The Angels have averaged 6.5 runs over the last 4 games. New York gives Taillon a ton of run support for him to be 12-3 and struggling so mightily for 2 months. It sounds crazy with a relative unknown in Mayers on the hill, but let’s take a shot at ANGELS (+145).

Run line/Against the spread
The Angels are 4-6 straight up over their last 10 games, but 3 of those have been 1-run losses. I’m all over this RL today. My favorite wager in this game is ANGELS +1.5 (-112).
Over/Under
The Yankees are 1-9 O/U over the last 10. The Angels are 4-5-1 O/U over the last 10. The Under is 4-1 in the last 5 meetings between the teams. The Yankees could awaken and take this number any day, so take the UNDER 8.5 (-107) for a HALF-UNIT.
