In a highly anticipated matchup, the New York Yankees aim to bounce back from last night's 5-2 defeat against the Los Angeles Angels. The two teams will face off to play the second of four games at Yankee Stadium tonight.

Will the Yankees (10-7) seize tonight's opportunity to redeem themselves, or will the Angels (9-8) continue their winning streak in the Bronx?

Resilient Starters

Tonight at 7:05 pm, Griffin Canning (0-0, 3.60 ERA) takes the mound for the Angels. Canning has only made one start this year, where he pitched for five innings and gave up two earned runs on five hits. He’s still a bit of a wild card as he missed the entire 2022 season and part of the 2021 season with a lower back stress fracture.

Jhony Brito (2-1, 6.75 ERA) is looking to redeem himself after an absolutely brutal outing against the Minnesota Twins last week. However, he showed much promise in his first two games and seems poised to rebound from Thursday’s nightmare.

Star Showdowns

Los Angeles has two of the MLB’s best in their lineup. Center fielder Mike Trout entered the series with a career .326 average and 7 HRs in the Bronx. Shohei Ohtani is coming off a hot streak against the Red Sox, recording five hits and 3 RBIs.

Although the Yankees’ bats were silent in last night’s loss, reigning AL MVP Aaron Judge has been solid throughout the beginning of the 2023 season. First baseman Anthony Rizzo entered the set with a .304 BA, with six HRs and 18 RBIs in 20 games against Los Angeles.

WagerWire Prediction – Yankees (-135)

Look for the Bronx Bombers to put last night’s woes behind them as they beat LA for their 11th win of the season.
