Angels at Yankees picks and predictions

Prediction

Yankees 7, Angels 3

Money line

BET the YANKEES (-155) for 1 unit since they have a 3-phase edge over the Angels (+125) in starting and relief pitching and hitting.

Taillon is on track to make his 1st All-Star game this summer and his elite spin and pitch movement are big reasons why he grades in the 88th percentile of chase rate, per Statcast.

Also, N.Y.’s ML is at a reasonable price because Detmers threw a no-hitter earlier this season vs. the Tampa Rays and is a highly-touted prospect in L.A.’s organization. But, Detmers only struck out 2 batters in his no-no and he ranks in the 39th percentile or worse in several advanced pitching metrics.

Lastly, the Yankees have been steamed from a -131 favorite up to the current number by a flood of sharp money, according to Pregame.com.

Run line/Against the spread

PASS with a heavy “lean” to the Yankees -1.5 (+133) because they should cash this ticket but the payout isn’t steep enough.

The Angels +1.5 (-165) are just 3-4 RL as road underdogs but N.Y. is 0-2 overall and on the RL in the 2nd of a doubleheader.

Over/Under

LEAN to the OVER 8.5 (-108) only because we are getting to the party a little late on the total since Angels-Yankees opened at 7.5 but has been bet all the way up to the current number.

However, N.Y.’s lineup rakes lefties, L.A.’s lineup has hit Taillon very well in their 2 previous meetings, Yankee Stadium is a very hitter-friendly ballpark and the Over has cashed in 5 of the last 7 Angels-Yankees meetings.
