Yankees vs Angels Baseball Betting Odds
Yankees vs Angels Expert Predictions
While Tyler Anderson has been good this year, Carlos Rodon has been great. He's given the Yankees excellent outings, and he gives them a fair edge in the pitching matchup tonight.
On offense, this matchup is not close. The Yankees have a ton of good hitters, while the Angels are missing Mike Trout, and no one has been that great recently. The Yankees also have Cody Bellinger and Paul Goldschmidt to aid Aaron Judge.
Prediction: Yankees 6, Angels 2
