If the New York Yankees keep the best player since Micky Mantle in check, Mike Trout, they should walk down River Avenue with a win. Masahiro Tanaka will take the hill for New York. Tanaka is 5-2, with a 4.96 ERA, a 1.10 WHIP, and the Yankees are 4-0 in his last 4 starts against the American League West. Los Angeles will call on Garrett Richards to throw strikes. Richards has decent numbers, at 4-3, with a 3.31 ERA, and a 1.26 WHIP but the Angels are 0-5 in his last 5 turns against the Yanks.
