Angels vs. Yankees Prediction
Will the Yankees’ slide continue tonight when they host the Angels at 7:05PM ET?
According to oddsmakers from online sports book Bovada.lv, the Yankees are -200 money line favorites versus the Angels, who have odds of +160 to pull off the upset. With Ricky Nolasco set to face Jordan Motgomery in the pitching matchup, the over/under currently sits at 10.5 runs.

From Rotoworld: Nolasco was rocked for five runs on 10 hits over six-plus innings in Thursday’s loss to the Royals. The Royals jumped on Nolasco for two runs in the second inning, then struck for solo home runs in the third and fourth innings, with Lorenzo Cain and Alex Gordon doing the damage, respectively. One more run would score on Nolasco’s line in the seventh inning. He now sits at 2-8 on the year and will carry a rough 5.01 ERA and 1.41 WHIP (14 starts) into a potential lion’s den when he hits the road to take on the Yankees in his next scheduled outing.
Montgomery yielded four runs on seven hits over 5 2/3 innings while taking a no-decision in Thursday’s 10-inning loss to the A’s. Montgomery coughed up a pair of home runs in the outing, with Jed Lowrie burning him for a solo home run in the first inning and Yonder Alonso doing likewise in the sixth. The rookie southpaw will bring a 3.78 ERA and 1.25 WHIP into a home start against the Angels in his next scheduled outing.
Bet Tonight’s Angels vs. Yankees Game
OUR PREDICTION: The Angels are winless at 0-9 in Nolasco’s last nine starts, are 0-5 in his last five road starts, and are 1-4 in their last five games coming off a win. They’re also just 9-29 in their last 38 games in new York despite being the Yankees in the Bronx last night. Unfortunately given the money line odds on the Bombers, we’ll have to lay the 1.5 on the runline to get any sort of value. Still, given the Yankees’ currently losing streak, at some point they’ll bust out and they’ll bust out big. I think that bust out comes tonight.
WEDNESDAY MLB PREDICTION: NEW YORK YANKEES -1.5 (-125)
