Fans expected a few scenarios to come about in this week's Yankees-Angels series. They knew that the Yankees would probably still be atop the AL East, and that the Los Angeles Angels would have to deal with a three-hour time difference. What they didn't anticipate was each opponent being on a losing streak.
The Yankees and Angels will try to stop the bleeding with a win in tonight's series opener, set to start at 7:05 p.m. EST at Yankee Stadium. New York's slowed momentum was underscored by a 0-3 series loss to the rival Boston Red Sox over the weekend, boosting Boston above .500 and to within striking range of New York. The flaky LA Angels followed a 3-0 sweep of Oakland by getting swept by weak Baltimore.
Las Vegas seems certain which ball club will snap its skid tonight, giving the Pinstripes better than (-200) odds to win. The Bronx's pitching held the LA Angels to three total runs in a 3-0 series sweep in May.

New York Yankees vs Los Angeles Angels Predictions and Picks
Everyone who's watched since 2004 knows that a Yankees versus Red Sox series can turn out any which way. Still, the downturn for Aaron Judge's batting lineup isn't limited to last weekend. The Yankees had no runs batted in and relied on an error from Kansas City to clinch a 3-0 sweep of the Royals. Cleveland held New York to seven combined runs in a three-game series that began June's slate.
The Pinstripes have been anxious to return home. But the vibe in the dugout doesn't seem to match Sin City's odds on a New York win, or the optimistic O/U (8.5) run total. James O' Connell of the New York Daily News, by way of Yahoo Sports, notes that Judge went 1-for-12 in a "brutal weekend at Fenway."
Oddsmakers seem to like the Yankees' probable pitcher, Clarke Schmidt. If he's the reason for the (-200) moneyline, why is the O/U rising instead of falling? Pick the "under" total on two icy teams tonight.
