Yankees at Angels picks and predictions
Prediction
Yankees 4, Angels 3
Moneyline
The Yankees (-184) have won 4 of 5 and own the best record in the AL, so it’s likely that they bounce back. However, it’s hard to beat MLB long term betting such heavy ML favorites.
PASS. Bet the run line and/or total instead.
Run line/Against the spread
The Angels have lost back-to-back games by just a single run, and while they probably won’t win, they have a good shot at keeping it close.
Cortés has struggled away from Yankee Stadium this season and allowed 4 ER in each of his last 3 road starts. The Yankees offense has also been mediocre recently, scoring 4 runs or fewer in back-to-back games.
BET ANGELS +1.5 (-110).
Over/Under
The Angels have also struggled on offense lately, putting up no more than 4 runs in 4 straight contests. With 2 offenses playing below expectation, I would lean toward the Under, but Cortés’ struggles on the road make me hesitant to bet that this will be a low-scoring game.
LEAN UNDER 8.5 (-105).
