The 79-51 New York Yankees snapped their 3-game skid last night with a 7-4 victory over the 56-74 host, the Los Angeles Angels. Tonight they will go for a series win when they wrap up their 3-game set with the Halos at Angel Stadium. The Yankees are expected to send their ace, Gerrit Cole, to the hill. Cole is 10-6 with a 3.31 ERA, a 1.01 WHIP, and has owned Anaheim in his career. Cole has an ERA of only 1.87 in his last 7 starts against the Angels and remember he grew up just down the street from Angels Stadium so you can bet your bottom dollar he will rise to the occasion again tonight. LA is expected to send lefty Patrick Sandoval to the rubber. The southpaw is 4-9 with a 3.05 ERA, a 1.38 WHIP, and it’s a fact the Bombers crush left-handed starters. New York has won 4 of the 5 meetings with Los Angeles this year and I expect they will notch another tonight.
TONIGHT’S PICK: NEW YORK YANKEES
