The Yankees are still in first place in the AL East, but they have lost 4 of 5 and the main reason has been their pitching. They only rank 23rd in the Majors in team ERA and in their last 5 games they have an ERA of 6.49 and opponents are batting .342.
The Angels are coming off a series where they lost 2 of 3 to the Texas Rangers and they are 5-5 in their last 10 games. They are in 3rd place in the AL West 3.5 games back of the Oakland A’s.
