New York Yankees vs Los Angeles Angels Prediction & Picks - MLB

Prediction published on 8/7/24, 12:34 PM  by Carlos Zabala in MLB Picks

After the rainout, the Angels and Yankees will play a doubleheader in New York. For Game 1, the Yankees will be favorites with odds up to -265. The pitching duel seems to suit the Yankees now that Gil has regained some of his good form. In his last 3 appearances, in total, he has totaled 16 IP in which he has allowed 5 ER and struck out 21. However, the Yankees have lost in 4 of Gil's last 5 starts.

At bat, the Yankees are going through another sweet moment that allowed them to recover from the bad streak they had before the All-Star break. They have won the last 3 series, including a sweep of the Phillies on the road. However, it is curious that the Yankees' record at home is only 29-24, while they are the best away from home with a record of 38-22.

They've only played 3 games in August, but the Yankees already have 6 HR and an AVG of 280 for the month and are positioned for another big month.

The Angels, after losing two painful series against the Athletics and Rockies, managed to win the last two games of the series against the Mets where they were underdogs with odds of +110 and +134.
