The Yankees and Angels meet on Friday night for the first of a three game set at Angel Stadium. In early June, the Yankees swept a four game set at Yankee Stadium.
After being within a few games of the second wild card spot the Yankees have lost three out of their last four games to fall 5.5 games behind. The Angeles on the other hand have been out of the playoff race all year.

New York Yankees
The Yankees have gotten terrific production from rookies Gary Sanchez and Aaron Judge over the last few days.
Sanchez is hitting .360 to go along with five homers and 11 RBI in 13 games. Judge is batting .389 with two homers and four RBI in only five games.
The problem for the Yankees has been their inconsistent starting pitching over the last few days. Luis Severino and C.C. Sabathia have struggled recently.
The bullpen has had some concerns as well since they traded Aroldis Chapman and Andrew Miller.
The Yankees are 17-7 in 24 Tanaka starts this year.
Tanaka is 4-3 with a 2.52 ERA on the road this season.
Los Angeles Angels
The Angels have been one of the biggest disappointments in baseball so far. The Angels are 20 games under .500.
A big reason for their struggles has been poor poor pitching. The Angels are 25th in baseball in ERA (4.61) and 26th in quality starts with only 45.
Albert Pujols is only hitting .249 this season but he has 22 homers and 93 RBI.

Weaver is 4-4 with a 5.17 ERA at home this season.
