MLB Betting Trends
Los Angeles
The Angels are 7-2 in their last nine Sunday games. Los Angeles is 17-5 in its last 22 road games.
New York
The Yankees are 20-7 in their last 27 home games vs. the Angels. The over is 5-1-2 in the last eight meetings in New York.
Prediction:
The Yankees’ rotation has struggled lately and the bullpen is getting taxed. Los Angeles comes in hot and Trout is as hard as ever to get out. Richards provides a solid starting pitcher for the Angels and he is downright filthy when he is on his game. I’m going to say the visitors win as an underdog for a second straight day to take the series.
