Los Angeles Angels at New York Yankees odds, picks and prediction
The Los Angeles Angels (39-41) and New York Yankees (41-39) close out a four-game series Thursday with a 1:05 p.m. ET first pitch at Yankee Stadium. Let's analyze BetMGM Sportsbook's lines around the Angels vs. Yankees odds with MLB picks and predictions.
RHP Griffin Canning is the projected starting pitcher for the Angels. He is 5-4 with a 4.95 ERA, 1.42 WHIP, 9.3 K/9, and 3.9 BB/9 in 60 IP in 12 starts and one relief appearance.
Canning is a fly-ball pitcher - recording a below league average 35.1% ground ball rate - who has benefited from some recent favorable HR/FB numbers. He's given up just 1 HR over this last three starts
LHP Jordan Montgomery is the projected starting pitcher for the Yankees. He is 3-2 with a 4.06 ERA, 1.21 WHIP, 8.8 K/9, and 2.5 BB/9 in 82 IP over 15 starts.
Montgomery is coming off a quality start against Boston, and faring well against good offensive clubs is part of an encouraging trend for the Yankee lefty. Montgomery owns a 3.35 ERA since May 21 despite pitching against the White Sox, Blue Jays (twice), Twins, and Red Sox, all of whom are ranked top-10 in OPS.

Money line (ML)
The Yanks and Halos are coming off a lengthy, rain-delayed, wild 19-run game on Wednesday night. L.A. won that game, 11-8, after scoring 7 runs in the top of the ninth inning.
There's enough value to make a wager on the home side. BET NEW YORK (-160).

Run line/Against the spread (ATS)
Los Angeles is 5-1 in its last six get-away road tilts, but Montgomery and Yankees' bullpen depth add up to a bit more of a lean. The current tag on the Bronx Bombers is fair. TAKE NEW YORK -1.5 (+115).
Over/Under (O/U)
Another warm, humid, breeze-out game is expected Thursday afternoon. The starters in this one are decent but bullpen effectiveness, fatigue, and availability are issues both teams could be struggling with. PEG THE OVER 10 (-105) WITH A BIT OF VALUE.
