It lands on a club with nothing left to play for this year — the Angels sit at 53-85, 17.0 games back in the AL West with an elimination number of 8, tied with Oakland at the bottom of the division.
Upcoming
Gerrit Cole (7-7, 3.19 ERA) starts for New York after taking the loss against Houston on August 27, when he allowed 3 earned runs on 6 hits over 6.0 innings with 5 strikeouts. Grayson Rodriguez (4-5, 6.03 ERA) goes for the Angels off a no-decision against Cleveland on August 26, when he gave up 1 earned run over 5.2 innings with 4 strikeouts.
New York is favored as the Angels host the Yankees tonight, and the market reads it as a low-scoring game — a fair line given Cole's ERA edge and a Rodriguez outing that, if it repeats, would keep the number down regardless of his season-long numbers.
