Aaron Judge continues to set the tone for the New York Yankees with 18 home runs and a .395 batting average. New York can score in a hurry, and Judge is usually in the middle of rallies.

Clarke Schmidt is going to start on Wednesday, and he has gone just 1-2 with a 4.58 ERA. He doesn't have to be great in this game but needs to give his team a chance to win.

Meanwhile, the Angels will have Yusei Kikuchi on the mound, and he has gone 1-4 with a 3.17 ERA. Pitching has been a problem for the Angels, as they don't always get much support.

Taylor Ward is leading the offense with 15 home runs; however, not having Mike Trout in the lineup hurts.
