The New York Yankees (78-50) and Los Angeles Angels (55-73) open a 3-game series at Angel Stadium Monday with a 9:38 p.m. ET first pitch.

Season series: New York leads 3-0 and has outscored Los Angeles 17-3

The Yankees head to Anaheim after a disappointing weekend in Oakland. New York defeated the Athletics Thursday and Friday but then managed a total of 5 hits over losses Saturday and Sunday.

The Angels are back at home after a surprising 3-game sweep of the Blue Jays in Toronto. Before arriving in Toronto, the Halos had been 1-6 on a road trip that also had stops at the Detroit Tigers and Tampa Bay Rays. Los Angeles is a woeful 5-13 over its last 18 games at home.

Yankees at Angels picks and predictions

Prediction

Yankees 5,  Angels 3

Money line

AVOID.

The Yankees are worthy of being a moderate road favorite, but the current tag offers up no value.

Run line/Against the spread

The YANKEES -1.5 (-105) is a play worth making.

New York’s .797 OPS versus left-handers ranks 3rd in the league. Montas has been banged up by some unfavorable rates around the margins of late such as a .333 batting average on balls in the last month.

Los Angeles has lost its last 6 return-home games after road trips and has been held off the scoreboard in 3 of them.

Over/Under

The Over 7.5 is a lean but only to -125 (partial-unit action) or -120 (full PASS on the current pricing.
