NY Yankees vs LA Angels Prediction
New York comes into this doubleheader after winning seven of their last eight games and they are battling Baltimore in the AL East. The Yankees are 29-24 at home this year, while Los Angeles is 23-28 on the road. The Angels did take two out of three against the Mets over the weekend, but they have had one of the worst team ERA’s in baseball this year. The Yankees have the pitching advantage in both of these games and I honestly think they are going to roll to two easy victories. My NY Yankees vs LA Angels prediction is for the Yankees to win by at least two runs in each game.
