The Yankees have taken three of the last four meetings with the Angels this season, and tonight's series opener sets up the same way. New York arrives at 78-59, second in the AL East, while Los Angeles sits at 52-85, buried in the West and just 29-42 at home. Elmer Rodriguez gets the ball for New York, and his own line is shaky, 0-2 with a 4.70 ERA in his rookie look, but my read is that he's backed by a Yankees pitching staff carrying a collective 3.20 ERA that leads all of baseball. Walbert Urena has been the one bright spot of a lost Angels season, going 8-5 with a 2.98 ERA, and he needs to be sharp again tonight because the lineup behind him gives him almost no cushion. Los Angeles ranks among the American League's worst pitching staffs once you get past their rookie right-hander, and Rodriguez doesn't have to match Urena pitch for pitch with that kind of support at his back. New York is 41-28 on the road and comes in as a short favorite for good reason, and we're laying that price tonight. Take the Yankees on the moneyline tonight.

Los Angeles at New York
7:05 PM Eastern
New York exploded for 11 runs on Monday, but as often happens, they didn't save enough for the next game, and they lost 7-1 to the Los Angeles Angels. The Yankees have Luis Gil on the mound tonight, and the Angels have had little luck against him with a .103 batting average and a .161 on-base percentage. The Angels are 3-for-29 with one homer versus Gil. Jack Kochanowicz has pitched two games on the road this season and has allowed seven runs (six earned) in 11 innings in those games. New York has won 14 of 20 home contests dating to last season. The Angels' bullpen threw two scoreless innings last night, but overall, it has a 4.59 ERA and a 1.55 WHIP. Los Angeles is yielding nearly five runs per game in 2026. Take the Yankees on the runline.
