Angels vs Yankees Preview, Prediction
Angels Betting Preview: Hendricks Cooked
Kyle Hendricks has faced a rapid downward spiral over the past two seasons. He finished last year with a 4-12 record, 5.92 ERA and 1.45 WHIP.
Those struggles have continued into 2025. Through 13 starts, Hendricks is 4-6 with a 5.20 ERA and 1.32 WHIP.
His underlying metrics suggest those woes will persist. The right-hander ranks in the 37th percentile or lower in expected ERA (xERA), expected batting average (xBA), strikeout rate and barrel rate.
Furthermore, Hendricks got shelled his last time out against New York. In that matchup, he surrendered four runs on 10 hits in fewer than six innings of work.
There were 11 total runs scored in that game, and another high-scoring affair is likely on Tuesday.
Yankees Betting Preview: Offense Due
The potential for a high-scoring game is amplified by this powerhouse Yankees lineup. Entering this matchup, New York ranks second in runs scored per game, slugging percentage, OPS and home runs.
This current Yankees roster also boasts a .291 xBA, .457 expected slugging percentage (xSLG) and .346 expected weighted on-base average (xwOBA) through 114 combined plate appearances against Hendricks.
Meanwhile, Will Warren takes the mound for New York, and he has struggled this season. Through 14 starts, the right-hander possesses a 4.86 ERA and 1.37 WHIP.
Warren has particularly struggled to limit hard contact, ranking in the seventh percentile in average exit velocity, 38th percentile in barrel rate and third percentile in hard-hit rate. That profile gives way to an Angels lineup that relies on the long ball.
While Los Angeles doesn’t reach base often, it ranks 11th in slugging and fourth in home runs.
Angels vs Yankees Prediction, Betting Analysis
The main concern with betting the over in this matchup is the Angels’ inconsistent lineup. That said, they do a good job hitting the ball hard, which is Warren’s biggest weakness.
If Los Angeles puts one or two balls over the fence, then the Yankees should have no trouble fulfilling the rest of the obligation. They possess one of the best lineups in the league and have a strong track record against the struggling Hendricks.
Pick: Over 9 ; Bet to Over 9.5
Moneyline
I lean toward New York, but I don't want to back Warren.
Run Line (Spread)
I also like New York to cover, but I'm staying away for the same reason listed above.
Over/Under
As mentioned, I'm betting over 9.5.
