MLB FREE PICK: Take the under. According to latest MLB trends, Los Angeles Angels are: 3-8-1 last 12 under during game 1 of series and 1-5 last 6 under on Monday. New York Yankees are: 5-15-3 last 23 under vs. American League West, 6-22-1 last 29 under in Kuroda’s starts with the total set at 7.0-8.5 and 9-25-2 last 36 under when Kuroda is a favorite.
The Angels are coming off beating Cleveland in two of three, but they have a tough task on Monday night when they have to take on Hiroki Kuroda (10-7, 2.45 ERA). The 38-year old right-hander has been the most consistent Yankees’ hurler all season and was 3-0 with an 0.55 ERA in July. He wasn’t sharp in his last start against the White Sox on August 6, and still allowed just three runs in seven innings. Garrett Richards (3-4, 4.20 ERA) is 1-0 with a 2.50 ERA since returning to the rotation on July 27. He is allowing opponents to bat just .222 in his last seven starts. The Angels are short-handed with Albert Pujols and Howie Kendrick on the disabled list. Expect Kuroda to have his command back and for this game to be a low-scoring one.
