Angels vs. Yankees prediction: Odds, recent stats, trends, and best bets for April 15
The LA Angels of Anaheim (9-9) take on the New York Yankees (9-8) tonight in Game 3 of their four-game series in the Bronx.
The series is now tied at one game apiece following last night’s 7-1 win by the Halos. Mike Trout homered as part of a three-run first inning against Ryan Weathers and the Angels rolled from there. The Halos actually went back-to-back-to-back in the first with Jo Adell and Jorge Soler going deep following Trout’s third home run in the last two games. Reid Detmers was outstanding, allowing just one run on four hits over seven innings to earn his first win of the season.
Tonight’s pitching matchup features a battle of young right-handers as the Angels will send Jack Kochanowicz (2-0, 3.24 ERA) to the mound, and the Yankees counter with Luis Gil (0-1, 6.75 ERA). While Kochanowicz has been sharp from the jump this season, Gil is still looking to find his form following his return from injury. His command was a problem against the Rays in his first start of the campaign.
The Yankees are now just 3-7 in their last ten games and have dropped to 0.5 games behind the Rays as a result in the American League East. The Angels are also 0.5 games out of first in the American League West having gone 6-4 in their last ten.
