Los Angeles Angels vs New York Yankees Prediction

For game one I’ll stay with the Yankees. Probably not touching it, though. Gil has done pretty well over his last three outings, notching a 2-0 record with five earned in 16.1 innings on 14 hits and five walks. As for Daniel, he’s coming off 5.0 innings and one earned versus the Rockies but was struggling (11 earned in 9.0 innings) prior to that.

I’ll try the Angels in game two. Fulmer has been decent over his last couple of starts but doesn’t have any decisions to show for it. In that pair Fulmer has 11.2 innings with five earned runs combined. It’s looking like New York is going to skip the struggling Nestor Cortes, as Marcus Stroman is pencilled in for Thursday’s finale.
