The Yankees have won four out of their last five games. This recent streak indicates a strong momentum for the New York Yankees as they are currently riding a two-game win streak. They are coming off a 5-4 outing against the Colorado Rockies in Game 3 of that series.

Ryan Yarbrough (1-0) has looked appealing through 29.1 innings pitched, as he gets the start here with an ERA at 3.38 and a WHIP at 1.16. The Yankees have consistently averaged about 3.37 with their ERA and 1.16 with their WHIP, so Yarbrough should fit in nicely to start.

The Yankees have averaged 5.00 runs a game over the course of their last five games and have given up just 2.60 runs during this stretch. Indeed, they are performing well on both sides of the field and have a good margin of safety if they continue to post these types of numbers.

Los Angeles Angels Betting Preview

The Angels have lost their last two games and are 3-2 over their last five. They return to action after a 3-0 shutout against the Miami Marlins, hoping to bounce back against the New York Yankees.

Jack Kochanowicz (3-5) will start on the mound, but brings in an ERA of 5.03 and a WHIP at 1.58 averaged through 53.2 innings. These averages are in line with what the Angels have collectively managed, with an ERA of 5.03 and a WHIP at 1.54.

Los Angeles has been getting .228 at the plate, but lacks on the defensive end in allowing their opponents to average about .275. This shows they are decent at the plate, but their opponents typically perform better with more scoring opportunities.

The Angels have produced 5.80 runs each game in their last five. Defensively, they have allowed 4.60 runs in return from their opponents. This is a slight margin of error to work with, especially since their offense has gone down the last few games.
