Los Angeles Angels vs. New York Yankees Prediction

I’m going to take a shot on the Angels in this one. I get the case to be made for the Yankees with the name brand attached, and Jack Kochanowicz has been one of the most inconsistent options in the Angels’ rotation this season. However, the Yankees can’t score right now and I just think that until they get their act together, they’re hard to lay these kinds of prices with. Give me the Angels here.
