The New York Yankees built an impressive lead in the first three months of the 2022 season within the American League East, and now sit just seven games ahead of the Rays, eight ahead of the Blue Jays, and just 10 ahead of the typical cellar dwelling Orioles. This division got tighter last night after Blue Jays came from behind to beat the Cubs and the Angels were able to beat the Yankees behind a four home run performance. MVP front runner Shohei Ohtani was able to bring home Trout in a loud way to take a 4-2 lead, a lead they never gave up.

The Angels have had another disappointing season that has been filled with drama, trade talks, Trout injuries, Maddon fired and even the owner threatening to sell the team. It has been one roller coaster season with mostly free-falling turns.

The American League East is keeping a close eye on this series because a division that seemed so far out of reach is now up for grabs by four of the five teams. The Yankees have two more games in Los Angeles before they travel to Tampa to take on a surging Rays team for three games. The Angels have almost no chance  at the division, but a slight outside shot of the American League wild card. If nothing else, they would love to at least play spoiler. After all they didn’t move any of their big pieces and are still trying to build for the future.

The Yankees and Angels game will provide a ton of wagering advantages to look out for and the Caesars Sportsbook will have all the spreads, totals, first five innings, live betting and even props available. They are offering all new players an awesome welcome promotion when they sign up using the bonus code VIMAXSPORTFULL. When you use that code at sign up you get $1,250 on Caesars, 1,000 Caesars Tier Credits and an additional 1,000 Caesars Rewards Credits.

The Caesars Sportsbook has the New York Yankees listed at -160 on the money line and the Los Angeles Angels at +134 on the money line. An Angels backer who may just be fading the current Yankee form would a profit of $134 on a $100 wager.

The Yankees will start Jameson Taillon. He doesn’t have the cleanest ERA sitting at a tick under four on the season and a tick over four on the road, but he is 12-4 on the season. The Yankees are 18-7 in games started Taillon on the season but even he isn’t free from the current form of the Yankees, as the Yankees have lost three of his last five games started. He has allowed three in three of his last four games, with the lone start coming his last time out allowing just one earned run spanning six innings against the Athletics.

The Angels will counter Mike Mayers, a big step down in class compared to Ohtani. He owns a 4.46 ERA on the season which constitutes just one start in his 19 appearances. He did play well in his last start allowing no runs in five innings against the Rays. While many of his appearances have been in relief, the Angels have been in the loser column in seven straight games where Mayer has made an appearance.

The total is currently set to 8.5 with the over listed at a heavier price of -120. The under is coming back at even money. The Yankees have seen the total go under in nine of their last 10 games and at a 17-5-1 clip in their last 23. The Angels have seen the over hit in four of their last six games and in three of their last five home games.

A Lot of different ways to wager to on the Angels and Yankees, so why not take advantage of the Caesars Sportsbook promotions. Remember to use the VIMAXSPORTFULL bonus code and then get $1,250 on Caesars, 1,000 Caesars Tier Credits and 1,000 Caesars Rewards Credits.

Until next time, enjoy the ride.
