Lineup:
The Yankees have the better lineup and right now the top of the Angels order is not setting the table. New York led the majors in runs scored but L.A was right on their tail coming in 2nd so the discrepancy is not too big. Yankees 3rd baseman Alex Rodriquez is one of the best players in baseball however and the Yankees are just a little better at almost every position. L.A has the better set of gloves in the field with their up the middle defense being tighter but New York can flash some impressive leather themselves. The Yankees have the advantage here.

Free Sports Picks Summary: The Yankees smell blood and Alex Rodriguez’s bat got hot at the right time. With Burnett pitching the way that he is right now NY has some good value in this game as the underdogs.
