In this Yankees vs Angels Prediction, the Yankees are coming as -155 road favorites. I like the Yankees in this one with the red-hot Cam Schlittler on the mound with his 2.09 ERA, and 0.97 WHIP. He has the best road ERA in all of baseball with 1.14, while Detmers, even though he has also been excellent, has a 1-5 record at home and the Angels’ bullpen has a 7.20 ERA in their last 5 games, while the Yankees are scoring 7.7 runs per game against lefties in that span. Take the Yankees to win this one on the road.
