Top Rated 10* AL *GAME OF THE WEEK*
(MLB) NY Yankees vs. LA Angels,
Money Line: -120.00 NY Yankees (Away)
Result: Win
Play: NY Yankees
Rating: 10/10*

The New York Yankees have scored a total of 55 runs through five consecutive victories home at Yankee Stadium. I like them to remain hot as they travel to the West Coast for a seven-game road trip, starting with a three-game series at Anaheim.

Masahiro Tanaka (5-6, 6.55 ERA) takes the ball for the Yankees. He's had a disappointing season, but facing the Angels could be just what the doctor ordered. Tanaka has yet to lose to the Angels, going 1-0 while surrendering just four runs over 21 innings of works through three career starts. The Yankees have won seven of the last eight meetings overall and Tanaka pitched 7 2/3 scoreless innings here at Angel Stadium of Anaheim last season.

The Halos will turn to Alex Meyer (2-3, 4.08 ERA) who has allowed just a pair of runs in 12 innings through his last two starts combined. Even in those starts though, Meyer gave up a total of six walks, and he has issued 24 free passes in 35 1/3 innings on the season. The Yankees are swinging hot bats and will surely take advantage of all the free base runners I expect them to get.
