Los Angeles Angels vs. New York Yankees.
August 30, 2021. Stadium: Angel Stadium (Anaheim), 6:38 PM (PDT).
The New York Yankees ended their series against Oakland unsuccessfully, losing their final two games and scoring only three runs. Does it mean the Yankees will start playing well in the first game against the Los Angeles Angels? Let's look into it.
The Angels Are Having Another Unimpressive Season
The Angels from Anaheim are approaching their match against the New York Yankees with a negative win-loss record, 64-67. Unfortunately, that's no surprise. Mike Trout, Shohei Ohtani. Who else do the Angels need to start winning more steadily? In its last 8 matches, LA had 6 losses.
The starting pitcher for the upcoming match has not yet been announced. Does it matter in the game against today's Yankees?
The Yankees Are Favorites Again
After the New York franchise did a glorious job in the market during the transfer, Aaron Boone's team is unstoppable. The Yankee batting lineup now looks just scary. After Stanton, Judge, and LeMahieu now come Joey Gallo and Anthony Rizzo. And there are Brett Gardner, Luke Voit, Gio Urshela, Gleyber Torres, who are also not the last in the League. To cut it short, it’s a nightmare for every pitcher.
Corey Kluber will start the match on the mound. The experienced pincher has not yet blent in. However, he has a pretty good 4-3 and 3.94 ERA.

Bets and Predictions from Professionals
Angels still can't count on their stars, Mike Trout and Shohei Ohtani, because of their injuries. Though, if they were in good shape, the Angels would hardly have an easier game. The Yankees were a little quieter at the series finish against Oakland and did everything they could to draw attention to themselves in the game against Anaheim.
My prediction is a confident win for the New York Yankees.
Betting options:
- The Yankees win with a handicap (-1.5), odds around 2.02;
- The Yankees win with an index of around 1.61.
