Los Angeles at New York

The Angels may be in last place in the AL West, but their offense is much improved from last season with the addition of Albert Pujols (team leading three doubles), with the team No. 13 in baseball in runs scored, No. 8 in batting average. All that was on display yesterday in a 7-1 pasting of the Yankees as a dog. Howie Kendrick, Chris Iannetta and Vernon Wells homered in this small, hitter-friendly park. The Angels go with righty Jerome Williams, who pitched well for them last season (3.68 ERA). The Angels are 5-1 in their last six games with the total set at 9.0 to 10.5 and 5-1 in Williams' last six starts. The NY Yankees (4-4) have allowed as many runs as they've scored with the pen and pitching having taken a step back from a year ago (3.93 team ERA ranks 16th). The Yankees are also 3-7 in their last 10 when their opponent scores 5 runs or more in their previous game. Play the LA Angels.
