In this article, we will formulate an Angels vs Yankees prediction for this MLB game on Tuesday, May 27, at Angel Stadium in Anaheim, California. Let’s take a look at the prediction for this MLB matchup.
New York Yankees Betting Preview
The New York Yankees (33-20, 15-11 Away) won six consecutive series, including the sweep of the Texas Rangers and the most recent win against the Colorado Rockies. The Yankees won seven of the previous eight games, losing the only game during the stretch to the Rox. In Game 1 of the current series against the Angels, the Yankees secured a 5-1 victory. Anthony Volpe led the offense with three RBI, while Ryan Yarbrough got the win after allowing one run on two hits with seven strikeouts and one walk across 6.0 innings of work.
This season, the Yankees average 5.68 runs per game (2nd in the MLB) on a .261/.344/.470 triple-slash. When it comes to pitching, the Yankees’ staff has a 3.34 ERA (7th) and 1.16 WHIP (3rd). Aaron Judge leads the Yankees with a .398 batting average, 18 home runs, and 47 RBI this season.
Carlos Rodon will take the mound for the Yankees on Tuesday. The 32-year-old left-hander has a 6-3 record in 11 starts this year with a 2.88 ERA and 0.96 WHIP in 65.2 innings.
Los Angeles Angels Betting Preview
The Los Angeles Angels (25-28, 10-13 Home) experienced their best stretch of the season, during which they connected eight wins. That is in the past, as the Angels are now on a three-game losing skid, after suffering defeats to the Marlins and in Game 1 of this series to the Yankees. Jack Kochanowicz took the loss after allowing four runs on five hits with five strikeouts and two walks in 6.2 innings.
This year, the Angels average 4.19 runs per game (17th in the MLB) on a .225/.287/.408 triple-slash. When it comes to pitching, the Angels’ staff has a 4.97 ERA (25th) and 1.52 WHIP (29th). Taylor Ward leads the Angels with a .222 batting average, 15 home runs, and 37 RBI this season.
The projected starting pitcher for the Angels is Tyler Anderson, who is 2-1 in ten starts this season, with a 3.60 ERA and 1.24 WHIP in 55.0 innings.

Angels vs Yankees Prediction
The Angels won six of the previous ten H2H encounters, but the Yankees were better in four of the last six. Three of the past five meetings went Over, and although we have two solid starters in this game, I am going with Over because I am not happy with Anderson’s recent performances. Tyler allowed nine runs in his last two starts, and I believe he will have problems against the Yanks here. Carlos Rodon, on the other hand, has had more success lately and displayed better form, but he allowed a .304 BA in 56 at-bats against the Angels in his career. Los Angeles can hurt him. Go with Over.
