The New York Yankees looked unstoppable during the second-half of August, winning 13-straight and averaging 5.8 runs per game. The offense came off the tracks in Oakland over the weekend, and the Bronx Bombers are taking their show south to face the Angels in a three-game set. Los Angeles stumbled near the end of their eastern swing but after getting blanked by the Padres on Saturday, they exploded for 10 runs last night. Jared Walsh hit his 24th home run and he's second on the team to Shohei Ohtani (41). The Angels will step in against Corey Kluber (4-3, 3.04 ERA), making his first start after three months on the IL. For a lot of the Angels, this will be their first time facing Kluber so they'll look to Justin Upton for tips. Upton has gone yard three times against Kluber and given how the right-hander looked in his rehab sessions, the hot home sticks should have the upper hand. New York is overvalued in this game based on their recent win streak, and Kluber's history. Don't expect him to go long in this game, though. Take the Angels at plus-money to win.
