The Los Angeles Angels have a 53-85 record this season and are sitting in 5th place of the AL West. They have a 30-42 home record and are coming off a 10-1 home win against the Yankees. They will face the Pirates and the Red Sox next.
The Los Angeles Angels have a .234 batting average this season, .310 OBP, and .372 slugging percentage. Los Angeles’ pitching staff has a 4.25 ERA and 1.34 WHIP. Nolan Schanuel is the Angels’ best hitter with a .276 batting average. Zach Neto leads the team in RBI with 66, adding a team-high 23 home runs.
Grayson Rodriguez (R) is the projected starting pitcher for the Angels, with a 4-5 record, 6.03 ERA, and 1.52 WHIP.

The Angels are 3-1 in their last 4 meetings against the Yankees but are 1-3 in their last 4 meetings in LA.
In this Yankees vs Angels Prediction, the Yankees are coming as -175 road favorites. I like the Yankees in a bounce-back spot after being embarrassed by 1-10 last night. Gerrit Cole has been solid this season, coming in excellent form and has been slightly better on the road, while Grayson Rodriguez sits on a 7.78 home ERA for the Angels. The Yankees have both a better offense and bullpen and I am willing to lay the juice for a straight up moneyline win.
