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

Prediction published on 5/28/25, 6:00 PM  by Carlos Zabala in MLB Picks

The Yankees defeated the Angels again in Anaheim and are one game away from sweeping the series on the road. In Tuesday's game, Judge went 1-for-4 with two strikeouts. Overall, the Yankees didn't have much hitting, and none of the nine in the lineup managed more than one hit. They relied on a very strong outing from Rondón. The Angels had come into this series hitting hard and with multi-base hits, but they suddenly faltered again against the Yankees' pitching. In the 2-3 loss, Neto went 1-for-4 with three strikeouts. Moncada struck out twice, as did Taylor, the former Dodger who nevertheless made a good catch in his debut as an Angel.

However, nothing takes away from Judge's status as perhaps the best hitter in the MLB. In 2025, his average is as high as .395. He hit 18 home runs, but he's added a dimension to his game, knowing how to get many pitches off batters with great discipline, knowing when he can hit instead of a home run, and his extra-base hits are often coming from the right field.

For Game 3, the Yankees will be less favored than they were for Game 2, but they'll still have odds around -150. The -1.5 spread odds are even with the Yankees at +110. The Yankees have been the betting favorites in their last 10 games.
