Yankees vs Angels Prediction

The Yankees are due for a bounce back performance after this rough losing streak, and this could be just what the doctor ordered. Kochanowicz hasn’t been good this season with his 5.53 ERA and 1.59 WHIP, and he’s allowed 30 hits and 18 runs in his last 22 innings. In 40 road innings, Kochanowicz has a 5.85 ERA and .288 allowed batting average. Yarbrough has a rough outing against the Red Sox, but he’s allowed one run in five of his last seven starts. This is a spot where the Yankees should stop the bleeding, as they’re the better team at home with the more trustworthy pitcher. Give me the Yankees.
