Will Cortes continue to deal?
New York won two of three games against the Padres in San Diego over the weekend. The Yankees are 19 games over .500 but only two games ahead of Baltimore in the competitive AL East division. Will they be able to separate from the pack?
The Yanks rank 1st in OBP (.335), 1st in OPS (.773), 1st in home runs (81), and 3rd in RBI (255). New York's pitching staff boasts a 2.77 ERA (1st) and 1.14 WHIP (4th).
Cortes will toe the slab for NY on Tuesday. In his last outing, the seventh-year southpaw gave up three hits and zero runs with six strikeouts in a five-inning win versus Seattle. He sports a 63:15 K:BB ratio in 65.2 innings this season. Cortes allowed three runs on four hits with seven strikeouts in a six-inning win versus the Angels last season. He's 2-0 with a 3.20 ERA in six career appearances against Los Angeles.

Canning has been solid in May
Los Angeles is 13 games under .500 and 7.5 games out of the division lead in the AL West. Angels fans haven't had much to cheer for this season and there's little reason to believe that will change in the coming weeks.
Los Angeles ranks 19th in OBP (.307), 11th in OPS (.710), 5th in home runs (64), and 16th in RBI (213). The Angels' pitching staff sports a 4.64 ERA (27th) and 1.32 WHIP (22nd).
Canning will take the mound for Anaheim in Tuesday's series opener. In his last appearance, the fifth-year pro gave up two runs on five hits in a five-inning outing versus Houston. He is 1-1 with a 1.99 ERA and 1.15 WHIP in four starts this month (22.2 IP). Canning faced the Yankees twice last year, allowing four total runs with 16 Ks in 11.0 combined frames.

Best Bets for this Game
Full-Game Side Bet
Insiders Status:
Rating:
Los Angeles slashes .252/.317/.415/.732 at home and .277/.333/.447/.780 vs. left-handed pitchers. It has a 19-13 run line record following a loss. The Yankees, who lost on Sunday, have a 7-10 run line record following a loss. Unlike most teams, the Halos can hang with the Bronx Bombers in the slugging department. I believe the Yankees' bats are due to cool off a bit, and after scoring just two runs in San Diego yesterday, they will continue to underperform on Tuesday in Anaheim. Canning has been locked in this month following a sub-par April and performed above expectations versus New York last season, generating plenty of swings and misses. He'll do his best to keep LA in the game.
Let's bet the Angels to cover the run line in Tuesday's series opener!
Prediction: Angels RL (+1.5)

Full-Game Total Pick

Rating:
Betting Trends: The over is 10-7 following a Yankees loss and 10-6-1 when they're away favorites. It is 29-19-1 when the Angels play a team with equal rest and 14-6 when they're home underdogs.
Both of these teams are top-five in homers and slugging percentage, suggesting Tuesday's game could be a high-scoring show for those in attendance. The Angels have more success against southpaws than righties and have performed better in both home games and night games than road games and day games. They've averaging 4.9 runs per game under the stars (34 GP). The Yankees are tough to sit down no matter the time or venue. Canning will have his work cut out against a NY lineup that slashes .259/.330/.438/.767 on the road, scoring 5.0 runs per game. The Bronx Bombers have hit 68 home runs against right-handed pitchers in 55 games.
I'll bet Tuesday's total exceeds eight runs scored!
Prediction: Over 8

I jumped into sports betting headfirst due to an irresistible call to action. I am a sports writer by trade, earning my B.A. in Journalism with a sports reporting concentration from Michigan State in 2012. With my journalism background, I combine thorough research with a keen eye for hidden value to generate consistent profits for my clients. In my free time, I enjoy talking "shop" with like-minded people. This allows me to see different angles and avoid traps that derail my progress. In short, their insight and intuition assist or deter my decision-making process. The pitfalls to avoid in sports gambling are following the crowd, assumptions, gullibility, and lack of accountability. A bettor is never as hot or cold as their best and worst streaks. By dedicating yourself to obtaining knowledge, you will never feel like you know it all. At its core, sports betting is about intuition. When you can predict which way the wind will blow, you will never feel caught up in the current stream. Sometimes you need to be counterintuitive. Risk is in the mind of the beholder, but when you bet with me, you'll find that the reward justifies the wager!
