Angels vs. Yankees– Game Betting Preview & Prediction
Moneyline: NY Yankees -220 | Total: 9.5
New York Yankees Preview
The Yankees are skating on historically thin ice. After getting blanked three games in a row, they’ve now gone 29 innings without crossing the plate. Another shutout? That would be the first time in franchise history they’ve been scoreless for four straight games.
Aaron Judge is slumping hard (1-for-15, 9 K in last four games), and the offense as a whole looks lifeless. It’s the team’s longest skid since last August, and they’re barely making noise at the plate, just four runs in their last five games. Manager Aaron Boone’s trying to stay optimistic, but there’s no denying the urgency in the Bronx.
On the mound, Ryan Yarbrough (3-1, 3.96 ERA) is tasked with stopping the bleeding. He’s been inconsistent lately, giving up eight runs in a recent outing before bouncing back with a solid 4.2-inning appearance versus Boston. He’s performed well against the Angels before, which gives the Yankees a glimmer of hope.
Los Angeles Angels Preview
Don’t look now, but the Angels are riding momentum into Yankee Stadium. After two straight shutouts, they’re aiming for a rare third in a row, something they haven’t done in a single season since 1974. Their pitching staff is suddenly cooking, holding Yankees hitters in check with command and execution.
Jack Kochanowicz (3-8, 5.53 ERA) will get the ball for L.A. While his recent numbers are shaky (0-3, 7.36 ERA in last 5), he kept things close against Baltimore in his last start and held the Yankees to four runs over 6.2 innings back in May. The bullpen has backed him up well, and the offense is doing just enough behind timely hits from guys like Nolan Schanuel and Taylor Ward.
Betting Outlook & Prediction
The Yankees should bounce back eventually, but asking them to snap a five-game losing streak and a historic scoring drought at -220? That’s a tough sell. New York likely pulls it off, but it won’t be pretty.
