Yankees and Angels Battle in Late West Coast Action

Maybin Filling Nice for Trout as Angels Toil in 2nd Place

The fans at Angel Stadium will see the AL East leading New York Yankees and the Los Angeles Angels on Wednesday night. The Angles have just been trying to hold serve while superstar Mike Trout is out with a thumb injury.

While Cameron Maybin isn't expected to fill Trout's shoes offensively at all, Maybin is expected to play good defense in center field while Trout recovers from surgery to repair a torn thumb ligament. Maybin was expected to play left field for the Angels. Management finally decided that he was the best option to replace the AL MVP in center field.

Maybin got hurt himself, straining an oblique muscle that landed him on the disabled list, not long after Trout was injured. He is back now and he should get the start in center field tonight against the Yankees. Maybin started out slow, hitting only .209, but has picked it up to .292 since the end of April.

Pineda a Different Pitcher

The Yankees will trot Michael Pineda out to the mound in this one. Right hander Pineda has a 7-3 record and a 3.39 ERA this season. Pineda has been consistently good all season. He has only given up three earned runs or fewer in 10 of his 12 starts. He is 1-1 with a 7.50 ERA in two career starts against the Angels. Tonight they will be facing a different Pineda than they've seen in the past. He has developed a change-up and has learned to pitch once he loses his quality stuff.

Starting this game for the Angels will be Matt Shoemaker. The right hander has a 4.22 ERA to go along with a 6-3 record this season. Shoemaker is set to face the Yankees for the third time in his career. He lost both previous starts against the Bronx Bombers. He gave up six runs and 15 hits in 13 1/3 innings.

Oddsmakers opened the Yankees as -125-moneyline favorites versus the Angels, while the game's total opened at 8. The Yankees are now -160-moneyline favorites and the total has held steady.

In their last action, Los Angeles was a 3-2 winner on the road against the New York Yankees. Bettors on Los Angeles at 112 on the moneyline collected their winnings from that game, while the total score (5) sent UNDER bettors home happy as well.

Last time out for New York, they were a 3-2 loser as they battled the Los Angeles Angels. Moneyline bettors who got the Angels at 112 were rewarded, while the 5 combined runs moved the game UNDER for totals bettors.
