Los Angeles Angels vs New York Yankees MLB Picks, Odds, Predictions 9/1/21

The New York Yankees and Los Angeles Angels meet Wednesday in MLB action at Angels Stadium. The Yankees need a win to snap a four-game losing streak. The Angels look for a win after splitting their last eight games.

The New York Yankees have scored 12 runs in their last three games and four or more runs in six of their last eight games. The Yankees have won 10 of their last 12 games when scoring four or more runs. DJ LeMahieu leads the Yankees with 134 hits and 52 RBI while Aaron Judge and Giancarlo Stanton have combined for 239 hits and 145 RBI. Gerrit Cole gets the ball, and he is 13-6 with a 2.80 ERA and 200 strikeouts this season. Cole is 7-1 with a 2.60 ERA and 84 strikeouts in his career against the Angels.

The Los Angeles Angels have scored 24 runs in their last three games and four or more runs in five of their last seven games. The Angels have won six of their last seven games when scoring four or more runs. David Fletcher leads the Angels with 149 hits and 42 RBI while Shohei Ohtani and Jared Walsh have combined for 230 hits and 166 RBI. Packy Naughton gets the ball, and he is 0-0 with a 1.69 ERA and two strikeouts this season. This will be Naughton’s first career game against the Yankees.

The Yankees are 11-5 in their last 16 road games and 22-6 in their last 28 games as a favorite. The Angels are 5-2 in their last 7 Wednesday games and 19-7 in their last 26 during game 3 of a series. The over is 5-2-1 in Yankees last 8 games as a favorite. The over is 5-1 in Angels last 6 overall. The Yankees are 6-2 in the last 8 meetings in Los Angeles.

The Yankees are due for a bounce back performance and Cole has found his form, allowing 13 hits and one run in his last 17.2 innings. Naughton has been solid in his reps, but he has just 5.1 career MLB innings under his belt. You can’t bet against Cole with the way he’s pitched lately. Give me the Yanks and the RL for max betting value.
