The New York Yankees are frigid in summertime. The Pinstripes haven't poked a single run across home plate since Saturday, tying a club record with three consecutive shut-out losses. Good pitching has been squandered as the Yankees' losing streak threatens to span two or more complete series. Only the significant cushion New York has over Tampa Bay is keeping the AL East lead safe for now.
New York will try to keep the LA Angels from taking a 3-0 lead in a four-game series at Yankee Stadium at 7:05 p.m. EST tonight. The Halos won by a score of 4-0 on Tuesday following a 1-0 series-opening win.
With nine more scoreless innings, the Yankees would break the MLB record for consecutive futile frames set by the 51-103 New York Highlanders of 1908, an embarrassing mark for a division leader.

New York Yankees vs Los Angeles Angels Predictions and Picks
In the truthful pilot episode of "The Bronx is Burning," Reggie Jackson and the Yankees can't buy a base hit. That season's team was decorated by October, but it took them a while to snap out of June's slump. Manager Billy Martin used the trick of drawing lots for a batting order to create a spark on offense.
This year's Yankees probably won't go that far. In fact, 2025's players are hinting that they think it's a fluke. "I don't think there's any reason to change up,” catcher Austin Wells tells Mark W. Sanchez of the New York Post. “I think it's just part of the season."
Maybe so, but the discontent will peak if New York breaks the town's infamous record from 1908, a distraction for the whole New York dugout and not just its icy sluggers. We think the Yankees will snap out of it with timely base-hits in pitchers' duels, not unlike Martin's team of 1977. It's probable that the under-total-runs bet will prevail again tonight.
