The Los Angeles Angels will take on the New York Yankees in Game 2 of the series at the Angel Stadium in Anaheim, California, on August 30, at 9:38 p.m. EDT. Yesterday, the Angels edged past the Yankees by a run and took Game 1, 4-3, increasing their overall record to 56-73. The best odds, lines, and picks for today's game are here.
The Yankees have a 78-51 record and are sitting at the top of the American League East. However, their run on the road has seen them suffer three defeats. They have one of the most explosive hitting lineups in the league, but lately have struggled to pull off good performances consistently.
The Angels, on the other hand, are on a four-game winning streak after defeating the Yankees 4-3 last night, courtesy of Shohei Ohtani. Although neither their overall nor their home records are decent, they will still look to carry the positive momentum into the tonight's game.

"Good start to the homestand" - Angels
The Angels will start their relief pitcher, Mike Mayers, on the mound in Game 2. He has an ERA of 4.46 and has only started a single game this season. He has a WHIP of 1.25 and doesn't really command authority on the hill. He has a good changeup but gets picked out on his four seam fastballs a lot. He will look to impress his bullpen coach with his second start of the season tonight.
The Yankees will give the ball to 30-year-old James Taillon, who has produced some decent performances this year. With an ERA of 3.89, a WHIP of 1.13, and 115 Ks, his overall record is 12-4. His previous five outings this month have produced two wins and three losses. He has a good set of pitching variations at his disposal but has to limit the hits he has been giving out recently early in the game.
