New York Yankees vs. Los Angeles Angels Prediction
I’m on the under in this game. I get the case to be made for either side, but for me, Urena is still the ace of this Angels rotation, and I think the Yankees could have a bit of a letdown after a big offensive showing in Sunday’s matchup against Boston. On the flipside, The Angels’ offense has been lacklustre for the better part of the season and I think that Rodriguez has a good start here to keep the Halos in check so give me the under here.
