Los Angeles Angels vs New York Yankees Prediction, Odds and Picks for Monday, 06/16/25

The Los Angeles Angels enter this matchup with Jose Soriano on the mound, looking to build off his most dominant outing of the season — 7.0 innings of one-run ball with 12 strikeouts vs the Athletics. While Soriano flashes top-tier stuff, he’s been inconsistent, walking too many hitters and allowing occasional big innings, including a blow-up start against Boston. The Angels are hoping Mike Trout’s return can jump-start an offense that’s been largely underwhelming and ranks near the bottom in team WAR with a run differential of -53. Their bullpen has also struggled to hold leads, making it difficult to support even strong starting performances. Against a top-tier lineup like New York’s, Soriano will need to be nearly flawless…and after a fantastic outing, I think the script will flip for the worse.

The Yankees, despite a tough weekend sweep in Boston where they managed just four runs across three games, are still one of the most dangerous lineups in the league. Aaron Judge has already crushed 26 home runs this season, and with Giancarlo Stanton returning to the lineup, the offensive ceiling remains high. Clarke Schmidt takes the ball, and he’s looked sharp lately, tossing six scoreless innings against the Royals in his last start. While he’s had some shaky outings, his current form and the depth of New York’s bullpen give the Yankees a strong edge at home. With their bats poised to bounce back after this past weekend, New York is in a prime spot to cover the run line.
