The Yankees<\/a> end the month of August in Anaheim Monday night for the first game of a three-game series. <\/p>\n

FanDuel Sportsbook lists the Yankees as -138 favorites on the road against the Angels, who have the second-worst home record in baseball this season.<\/p>\n

Elmer Rodriguez will get his second start in the past week, and the sixth of his career as the Bombers look to keep the good vibes rolling.<\/p>\n

Fellow rookie pitcher George Klassen was slated to get the start for the Angels, but was put on the IL Sunday with a lower back injury. Walbert Urena is expected to start for Klassen.<\/p>\n

Yankees vs. Angels prediction, best bet<\/p>\n

The Yankees are coming off a huge series win against the Red Sox that gave them breathing room in the AL wild card standings<\/a> and the tiebreaker in the season series. <\/p>\n

They are now 24-16 since the All-Star Break, which is the third-best record in the AL.<\/p>\n

More importantly, the offense finally woke up for the pinstripes. <\/p>\n

The Pinstripes scored a season-high 16 runs against the Red Sox Sunday and put up nine runs Saturday night.<\/p>\n

They\u2019ve now scored at least seven runs in five of their past eight games and look like a formidable lineup. In the previous 25 games, the Yankees averaged 3.5 runs and scored more than seven runs just three times.<\/p>\n

Some of that success can be tied to Cody Bellinger\u2019s return; he came off the IL in the game against the Blue Jays that kicked off this offensive explosion.<\/p>\n

But the offensive turnaround has been as much about manufacturing runs as hitting homers. In Saturday\u2019s win, the Yanks scored all nine of their runs via singles and sac flies.<\/p>\n

The Yankees proved that they could rise to the occasion against one of the hottest teams in baseball, and now they have a chance to take advantage of one of the worst.<\/p>\n

The Angels rank second-to-last in MLB in xwOBA and last in Whiff rate, which should be a welcome sign for Rodriguez. The rookie flashed his talent against the Astros, going six innings and allowing three earned runs on three hits with six strikeouts.<\/p>\n

If the Bombers can maintain their offensive rhythm and Rodriguez replicates his performance against an even worse team, the Yankees should pick up their first win against the lowly Angels.<\/p>\n
