Final Angels-Yankees Prediction & Pick
This is a match-up between a young and unproven pitcher, against one that has struggled throughout his career. The Yankees will be sending out Will Warren. Warren is making just the second start of his MLB career, and his first at Yankee Stadium. While the Angel's offense is not great, they should be able to muster some runs against Warren. Carson Fulmer has been in the majors since 2016 but has a career ERA over five. Further, players have slugged a career .408 against him, which is an issue against a powerful Yankee lineup. Expect there to be runs in this one, and both bullpens to be taxed in the second game of a doubleheader.
