Prediction: New York Yankees VS Los Angeles Angels 2025-05-26
The Bronx Bombers are heading to the City of Angels, and I've got a feeling it's going to be a long night for the Halos. The New York Yankees, led by the mighty Aaron Judge (.395 batting average, 18 home runs), are looking to take down the Los Angeles Angels, who are still reeling from their 3-0 shutout loss to the Miami Marlins.
The Yankees have a stellar record as moneyline favorites, winning 65.9% of their games in this situation. Meanwhile, the Angels have struggled as underdogs, winning only 48.8% of their games. Taylor Ward (15 home runs, 37 RBI) will need to bring his A-game if the Angels want to take down the Yankees.
As for the total, the Yankees have gone over in 22 games this season, while the Angels have gone over in 29 of 51 games. With Ryan Yarbrough (3.38 ERA) on the mound, I'm expecting a high-scoring affair.
My best bet for this matchup is the Over 9.5 runs, with the Yankees winning outright. The Angels' pitching staff has been shaky, and I think the Yankees' powerful lineup will take advantage of that. Take the Over 9.5 runs at +1.95 (MyBookie.ag) and the Yankees on the moneyline at -162 (BetOnline.ag).
Prediction: Yankees win 8-5, with the Over 9.5 runs hitting easily.
