Yankees vs Angels Prediction

The Angels are 3-1 in their last 4 meetings against the Yankees but are 1-3 in their last 4 meetings in LA.

In this Yankees vs Angels Prediction, the Yankees are coming as -175 road favorites. I like the Yankees in a bounce-back spot after being embarrassed by 1-10 last night. Gerrit Cole has been solid this season, coming in excellent form and has been slightly better on the road, while Grayson Rodriguez sits on a 7.78 home ERA for the Angels. The Yankees have both a better offense and bullpen and I am willing to lay the juice for a straight up moneyline win.
