The New York Yankees have turned it on after an inconsistent start to the season, as the Bronx Bombers are riding an eight-game winning streak. That span has seen the Yankees outscore their opponents 62-17 – including a 15-4 edge over the Los Angeles Angels. The Yankees will look to continue their winning ways and sweep the Angels under the lights of Angel Stadium Sunday.
- Didi Gregorius is 13-for-31 with 5 HRs and 13 RBIs in the last 8 games.
- The Angels are 1-7 SU and ATS in their last 8 games at home.
- The total has gone OVER in 5 of the last 6 games between the Yankees and Angels.
CC Sabathia will take the bump for the Yankees, as the 17-year veteran looks to build upon a strong start to the season. Sabathia has a 1.86 ERA and a 0.98 WHIP in four starts this season – allowing plenty of soft contact but very few hits. Dating back to last season, the southpaw has allowed two or fewer earned runs in 13 of his last 16 starts.
The Angels will start Tyler Skaggs, who has quietly been one of the better pitchers in the American League. Skaggs has allowed two or fewer earned runs in four of his five starts this season while recording 24 strikeouts to eight walks. The lefty has corrected some issues he had with the long ball last season, as Skaggs has surrendered just one home run this year.
