The Los Angeles Angels, faced with a lopsided home record of 6-19, continue their challenging season as they attempt to garner a first home series win in 2024.

The Angels' pitching has been struggling, while the Yankees have maintained a strong offense with at least four runs in 12 of their last 14 games. The pressure falls to starting pitcher Griffin Canning, who has a 1.99 ERA across 22.2 innings this month.

Predictions

Yankees left-hander Nestor Cortes has a respectable 3.29 ERA but has shown vulnerability in his recent road starts. The Angels counter with Griffin Canning, who after a rough start has settled into a groove in May. If Canning can keep up his recent performance, the Angels have a fighting chance to win the game — and the series.
