The New York Yankees (79-51) and Los Angeles Angels (56-74) clash Wednesday with a 9:38 p.m. ET first pitch at Angel Stadium. Let’s analyze Tipico Sportsbook‘s lines around the Yankees vs. Angels odds with MLB picks and predictions.
Season series: New York leads 4-1 and has outscored Los Angeles 27-11
The Yankees’ offense has been nearly silent over the club’s last 20 games. Over that span, New York has scored 5 or more runs just 3 times. The Yanks are 8-12 with a .590 OPS since Aug. 9.
Los Angeles is a woeful 6-14 over its last 20 games at home. The Angels are just 26-48 against over-.500 teams, but across their last 5 games — against the Yankees and Toronto Blue Jays — they are 4-1.

Yankees at Angels picks and predictions
Prediction
Yankees 5, Angels 4
Money line
AVOID.
However, track the line. Against a slightly-overvalued Sandoval, New York (-190) is a workable play.

Run line/Against the spread
PASS: Cole is coming off 110 pitches in his last outing Friday and some New York bullpen questions bring this play into a gray area.
Over/Under
New York’s ability to hit left-handers and Los Angeles’ recent success on offense (.854 OPS last 5 games) and a fade-Sandoval lean shake out into a STRONG OVER 7.5 (-110) PLAY on what is forecasted as a warmed-up, wind-out night in Anaheim.
