Yankees vs Angels Prediction
I’ve faded the Angels for years and it will probably work this year as well. I’m also not excited to get behind Kikuchi and his 6.75 ERA and 1.77 WHIP through 14.2 frames. However, the Yankees can’t hit the baseball and the losses are getting out of control. Yes, the talent will probably prevail and the Yankees will right the ship at some point. However, the Yankees are awful offensively up to this point and laying these prices with them in their current form isn’t the move. I have to side with the Angels and the more favorable price if forced to make a pick.
