The Yankees come into this matchup with a mixed bag of recent performances. In their last three games, they have shown both strengths and weaknesses that could play a crucial role against the Angels.


Offensively, the Yankees have been somewhat inconsistent. They managed only two runs in their latest game against the Padres but bounced back with four runs in the next game and an impressive eight runs thereafter. Their batting average has hovered around .257 to .286 over these games, indicating potential but also room for improvement. Notably, they have demonstrated power with multiple extra-base hits and home runs across these matches.

On defense and pitching, the Yankees' bullpen has had its ups and downs. While their starters have generally been solid—posting an ERA as low as 1.8—the bullpen has struggled at times with an ERA reaching up to 9.0 in one instance. However, when effective, they’ve shown they can shut down opponents completely as seen by holding teams scoreless on several occasions.


Angel Stadium's dimensions could influence this game significantly. Known for being relatively neutral but slightly favoring pitchers due to its deep outfield fences, it might help contain some of the long balls that Yankee hitters rely on.
