Prediction and Conclusion
The Angels and the Yankees will play two games tonight since last night’s matchup was postponed, so this prediction is for the first game scheduled for 04:05 PM ET. Both teams are going into this series as winners of their last two games. The Yankees managed to come back on top of the AL East, but staying there would demand winning consecutive games. The Yankees will start with Luis Gil tonight, who is 11-5 for the season with a 3.20 ERA, 132 K, 112.2 IP, and 1.10 WHIP. The Angels will have Davis Daniel on the mound, who is 1-2 for the season with a 4.91 ERA, 19 K, 22 IP, and 1.18 WHIP. The Yankees have won 7 of their last home games against the Angels, and that successful run is continuing today.
