Season series: tied 2-2
Los Angeles won 4-3 in 10 innings as -136 home favorites in the series opener Monday. The Yankees led 3-1 heading into the bottom of the 7th when Angeles DH Shohei Ohtani hit a 2-run home run to tie things up. The Angels walked it off with an RBI single by pinch hitter 2B Michael Stefanic.
The Yankees have lost back-to-back games and have only won 3 of their last 10 overall. The Angels are 2-1 in their last 3 games following a 6-game losing streak that spanned the All-Star break from July 3-14. New York is 22-22 on the road this season while Los Angeles is 25-22 at home on the year.

Yankees at Angels picks and predictions
Prediction
Yankees 6, Angels 5
Moneyline
LEAN YANKEES (-110).
The Yankees have a slight edge in recent New York-Los Angeles matchups, winning 6 of the last 10 games. Both teams are 3-7 in their last 10 overall. Where New York has a small advantage Tuesday is in the pitching matchup. The Yankees are 2-1 in German’s last 3 starts, while the Angels are 0-3 in Sandoval’s last 3 starts.
Run line/Against the spread
PASS.
I like the Angels +1.5 (-185) to cover here as these teams are very evenly matched and 5 of their last 10 meetings have come down to a 1-run margin. However, this line is not worth the juice, so focus on the moneyline and/or Over/Under instead.

Over/Under
BET OVER 9 (-115).
The Over is 5-0 in German’s last 5 starts and 2-0 in each of his 2 career starts vs. Los Angeles. New York is 5-4-1 to the Over in its last 10 contests overall.
The Over is 7-2-1 in Los Angeles’s last 10 overall and has cashed in 5 of its last 6 outings. The Over is also 1-0-1 in Sandoval’s last 2 turns.
