The New York Yankees split the first two games of their series with the Los Angeles Angels, earning a dramatic 11-10 win in the opener before dropping Game 2 in blowout fashion.

My Angels vs. Yankees predictions and MLB picks expect the home side to get back on track this Wednesday, April 15.

Who will win Angels vs Yankees today: Yankees moneyline (-178)

Jack Kochanowicz has seen his counting numbers improve this season, but a lot of that stems from luck.

He owns a 5.02 xFIP — very close to last year’s 5.18 xFIP, when he had a 6.81 ERA to go with it.

Kochanowicz has also allowed a .204 average on balls put in play. That is unsustainably low and well below the near .300 BABIP allowed over 175 innings of work the two seasons prior.

All of these numbers suggest regression is coming, and the New York Yankees (third in fly-ball rate, seventh in hard-hit rate) are a good team to force the issue.

Covers COVERS INTEL: Kochanowicz's xERA is nearly three runs higher than his actual ERA this season.

Angels vs Yankees Over/Under pick: Over 10.5 (-116)

Kochanowicz’s underlying profile screams regression, and the Yankees' tendency to hit the ball hard and put it in the air should serve them well in a hitter-friendly ballpark with warm weather and the wind blowing out.

When Kochanowicz departs from the game, the Yankees can look forward to facing a bullpen that ranks Bottom-10 in xFIP and SIERA.

The Los Angeles Angels should chip in their fair share of runs as well. Luis Gil has a tough time keeping the ball in the park, and the Angels rank first in fly-ball rate and second in homers this season.
