The New York Yankees are firing on every cylinder, winners of 3 straight and 7 of their last 8. Tonight they will resume their 3-game set with the Los Angeles Angels in Anaheim. New York took game 1 (5-1) and should come out on top again tonight with southpaw Carlos Rodón on the hill. Rodón has been in the zone. He is 6-3 with a 2.88 ERA, a 0.96 WHIP, and has won his last two turns allowing just 1 run on 4 hits over the 2 games. After winning 8 straight the Angels have come back to earth and have lost their last 3. The Halos will turn to another lefty, Tyler Anderson, to throw strikes. Anderson has pitched well with a record of 2-1, a 3.60 ERA and a WHIP of only 0.99 but if he makes any mistakes the Bronx Bombers will take advantage. New York has the edge in every conceivable category there is and with an Angels team that is 0-5 in their last 5 home games against a left-handed starter, the Yankees are the side to consider.
