Los Angeles Angels vs New York Yankees Betting Preview
Los Angeles Angels
When you have perhaps the two players in the league, you expect to be atop the MLB standings. That has not been the case for the Los Angeles Angels throughout the tenure of Mike Trout and Shohei Ohtani, but this could be the year. With fewer than 20 games played so far, it has to tell the true state of MLB teams, but keep an eye on the Angels.
The Los Angeles Angels schedule is daunting this week. They go from playing a three-game series on the East coast, to playing back home on the West coast without a day of rest. For now, they focus on Griffin Canning taking the mound against the Yankees. The 26-year-old is set to make his second appearance of the year, after allowing five hits, two runs and striking out four in his season-debut against the Washington Nationals.
In 17 games this year, the Angels have covered the spread in eight of them. They covered in game one of the series and the under-hit. Los Angeles’ pitching staff has allowed more than five runs only once in the last 10 games.
New York Yankees
You do not have to know baseball to know that the New York Yankees are good. They are expected to compete every year, and they are going to do just that in 2023. With a nasty pitching staff and a mix of young and old on the offensive end, this year could be fun for the Bronx.
Jhony Brito will get the nod on the mound for the Yankees on Wednesday night. The RHP got clobbered in his last start, allowing seven runs and did not get out of the first inning. That makes his ERA in the last seven days a whopping 94.50. No need to clean your glasses, that was not a typo. Brito would love nothing more than to bounce back and have a short memory.
New York is 10-7 on both the moneyline and against the spread. That is impressive, considering they are favored in most games. An interesting trend to follow is that the last four Yankees games have not hit the over. Will that trend continue against the Los Angeles Angels?
Los Angeles Angels vs New York Yankees Betting Picks
As the Los Angeles Angels and New York Yankees square off, this seems like it could be a potential playoff matchup. You have seen the Angels vs Yankees odds, but now it is time to make our picks. Thankfully, the MLB injury report is not playing a big hand in this one.
- Take Los Angeles +1.5 (-165). Jhony Brito is a good pitcher, but he is going to have a lot of pressure after the last game.
- Also, with the way this Los Angeles pitching staff is looking and the lack of runs for the Yankees recently, take under 9 (-105).
