Typically, we wait on plays involving doubleheaders to see how the first game pans out. However, five of Los Angeles’ last six games against teams above .500 have gone under the total. The Angels are hitting .220 with a .620 OPS over their last seven days. Besides their 14-run output against Philadelphia, the Yankees have scored four runs, or fewer, in four of Luis Gil’s last five starts. More rain is also expected in the forecast around game time.
I played this matchup at -1.5 on Tuesday but it was rained out. I was going to play it again but when I saw +2.5 just have to do it as I think the doubleheader lessens New York's advantage in the opener. For example, Gleyber Torres and Giancarlo Stanton are both out in Game 1. Doubt I ever turn down +2.5 in MLB. At the same time, the Yankees winning 8-1 wouldn't surprise me.
The Yanks get another day to rest up to face a kid starter who probably won't enjoy pitching in the Bronx. Halos sticking with Davis Daniel as their starter and might be in their depleted pen by the 5th. Halos have 14 runs their last 5 G, losing Luis Rengifo for the season on top of Mike Trout is a big blow. Yanks top of lineup is locked in and Luis Gil has shaken off a rough June with a 2.35 ERA in his last 4 starts. Yanks will do what they have to do to try to take the opener of this DH. Extra time off should be great for Gil, at a new innings high
