The New York Yankees will look to end a five-game losing streak when they begin a series with the Los Angeles Angels tonight.
The Bombers' offense has struggled to generate runs recently, but I like their bats to come alive this evening with a favorable pitching matchup.
My Angels vs. Yankees predictions and MLB picks break down why the Yankees and the Over have value on Monday, April 13.
Who will win Angels vs Yankees today: Yankees -1.5 (+105)
Yusei Kikuchi has spent a ton of time in the AL East, so most New York Yankees players have a decent sample size of plate appearances against tonight's Los Angeles Angels starter.
For the most part, they’ve lit him up, too. That shouldn’t be much of a surprise, either.
Kikuchi's Bottom 8th-percentile fastball run value means his primary pitch is getting crushed, and the Yankees rank among the league's best in chase rate suppression, meaning they will lay off the off-speed stuff and sit on the heater.
Hard-hit numbers that have generally hung in the Bottom 30% of the league aren’t good issues to have against the Bronx Bombers either. Give me the Yankees to snap a losing streak in convincing fashion.
COVERS INTEL: Ben Rice has posted a .476 xwOBA with a 75% hard-hit rate across 35 plate appearances vs. Kikuchi.
Angels vs Yankees Over/Under pick: Over 9.5 (-105)
I’ve already lamented this season why I’m more down on Will Warren than the market seems to be. I also believe there’s a decent chance that Kikuchi not only struggles tonight, but is crushed. Either way, the convergence of angles makes me lean towards the Over.
Warren’s Bottom 7th-percentile chase rate means the Angels will sit in the zone and make contact. They struggle against great chase-inducing pitchers, but when they can avoid them, the underrated power of the lineup shows up.
The Yankees have more paths to scoring, but the Angels should do their part, too. I’d play this up to 10.
