Yankees vs Angels Prediction
New York continued their losing streak with another terrible offensive performance on Wednesday, and they have lost six games in a row. The Yankees are 21-15 at home this year, while the Angels are 21-21 on the road. Los Angeles has been very inconsistent over their last three series, but they have allowed just two runs in three games here. LA is starting Anderson, who has allowed at least five earned runs in three of his last five starts. New York is going with Rodon, who has been very good this year, but has allowed eight earned runs in his last 10.0 innings. The Yankees have burned us a lot recently, but I am going back to them here, as I have no faith in Anderson for the Angels. Take the Yankees -1.5 in this game.
