Yankees at Angels picks and predictions

Prediction

Yankees 4, Angels 3

The YANKEES (-140) are the play despite their recent woes. Rodon is making his 3rd start of the season and the Angels have a league-worst 31.5% strikeout rate against left-handed pitchers in 108 plate appearances since the start of July.

ANGELS +1.5 (-150) is how I’d wager on the run line with the expectation of a low-scoring contest. Los Angeles has covered the run line in 4 of its last 6 games at home.

UNDER 8.5 (-110) is the lean despite it being a lower total. The Yankees are struggling to generate runs with OF Aaron Judge sidelined, and the Angels are without OF Mike Trout against a southpaw.

The Under is 8-2 in the last 10 meetings overall, including 4-1 in the first 5 meetings this season.
