The New York Yankees and Los Angeles Angels face off on Tuesday in an MLB showdown at Angel Stadium. On Monday it was the Angels that were able to secure the 4-3 victory.
The Yankees come into this game with a 78-50 record overall but they have been struggling the last week with their offense. The Yankees offense overall has been the strength and they are currently averaging five runs per game which is second best in the league. The pitching is giving up only 3.84 runs per game which is 3rd in the league. Aaron Judge should be named the MVP after the season and he has hit 49 home runs and driven in 109 RBIs.
On the other side of this matchup is the Angels who sit with a 56-73 record overall and they have won four games in a row including a series sweep over the Toronto Blue Jays. The Angles offense has really struggled this season averaging 3.82 runs per game which is 25th in baseball. With as much talent as the offense has, it’s pretty unacceptable how bad they have been. Shohei Ohtani hias hit 28 home runs and driven in 77 RBIs.
On the mound for the Yankees is Jameson Taillon who sits with a 12-4 record and an ERA of 3.89. In his last start against the Oakland Athletics, he went six innings giving up six hits and one run.
On the mound for the Angels is Mike Mayers who sits with a 1-0 record and an ERA of 4.46. In his last start against the Tampa Bay Rays, he went five innings giving up two hits and zero runs.
The Yankees are 5-1 in Taillon’s last six starts against the American League West. The under is 7-1-1 in the Yankees last nine road games. The over is 8-1-1 in Taillon’s last 10 starts on Tuesday.
Runs are going to be hard to come by in this game. Taillon gave up only one run in his last start and I expect he is going to have a strong start again in this game. Look for Mayers to follow him his strong in his last game, with a strong start here, and the under is going to cash. Back the under.
