A potentially exciting betting prospect is coming up soon in the MLB realm with the New York Yankees (37-19) and Los Angeles Angels (21-33) competing in Game 2 of their series on Wednesday, May 29, at 9:38 PM ET at Angel Stadium in Los Angeles, California. With a -190 moneyline, the Yankees aim to regain their momentum.
They have lost their last two games and are now 2-3 in their last five battles. Their most recent loss was in Game 1, where the Angeles defeated them 4-3. They gave up two runs in the eighth, sealing their fate.
They will need Luis Gil (6-1) to start on the mound. He currently has an ERA of 2.11 and a WHIP of 1.01. Their team ERA is at 2.80, so there is a lot to like about having Gil on the mound here.
Juan Soto leads them in a variety of offensive stats, including a.312 batting average and 46 RBIs. Aaron Judge leads them in home runs, with 17 earned so far, and will be a key factor in their offense.
The Yankees do a great job on both ends of the field, with a batting average of.257 and allowing.212 from their opponents. If they can keep this dynamic going, then they should have a good shot at winning.
Late in Game 3, the Angels asserted their dominance and caused a stir. This recent win ended their three-game losing streak, and they are now 2-3 in their latest five-game stretch.
Having Tyler Anderson (5-4) on the mound will give them a chance at success. He currently boasts an ERA of 2.52 and a 1.06 WHIP. With their team ERA at 4.61, they are at a disadvantage against the Yankees.
Taylor Ward has accumulated 11 home runs, 34 RBIs, and a batting average of.273. While he leads the offense in a variety of categories, they will need a lot more out of him in order to have a shot at winning.
The Angels have a batting average of.245 and are giving up.238 to their opponents. At this rate, they make each battle more difficult if their opponents are close to them at the plate.
MyBookie offers their betting odds for this showdown, with the Yankees nearly moderate favorites to even the series. According to market analysis, they have a 56.2 percent chance of winning.
The Yankees are a more complete package and look appealing here. Even though they came up short in Game 1, they should be able to bounce back.
