Yankees vs Angels Side and Over/Under Picks
Yankees Spread Pick
Cole's command, Rodriguez's 6.03 ERA and the large gap between these pitching staffs make New York the stronger rebound candidate. With Judge absent, however, laying the moneyline price is less attractive than the run line.
- Pick: New York Yankees -1.5 (-108)
Total Pick
Cole's elite 1.07 WHIP and strong command should help keep this game controlled, and even with the Angels' offense capable of scoring, New York's overall pitching depth supports a lower-scoring result.
- Pick: Under 7.5
Final Score Prediction
Cole's dominant form on the mound and the wide gap between these two pitching staffs point toward a bounce-back win for New York after Monday's blowout loss, even with Judge sidelined for the Yankees.
- Projected Final Score: Yankees 5, Angels 2
