Punchless Yankees Face Historic Slump in Finale vs. Angels
The Bronx Bombers have gone silent. For the first time in nearly a decade, the New York Yankees have been held scoreless in three consecutive games. They’ll try to snap a 29-inning scoreless streak and halt a five-game losing streak on Wednesday night as they host the surprisingly dominant Los Angeles Angels.
A Historic Power Outage in the Bronx
It’s a shocking turn of events for one of baseball’s most potent lineups. The Yankees have just four runs during their five-game skid, and superstar Aaron Judge is mired in a deep slump, going 1-for-15 with nine strikeouts in his last four games. Another shutout loss would be the first time in franchise history they’ve been blanked in four straight.
“It’s been a little struggle these last couple of days,” a frustrated Yankees manager Aaron Boone said. “It’s always shocking to see our group not score runs, especially a few days in a row now.” This kind of team-wide slump is a fascinating topic in our expert betting guide.
Angels Playing Spoiler in New York
The Angels are thriving in their role as giant-killers, winning four straight against the Yankees in New York for just the fifth time in their history. They are now on the verge of shutting out the Yankees for a third consecutive game for the first time since 1999.
“I know they might be going through a little spell, but it doesn’t matter,” the Angels’ starting pitcher said after Tuesday’s win. “You know that those are really good hitters over there and a really good lineup.”
A Battle of Struggling Arms
Wednesday’s game features two pitchers looking to get back on track. The Yankees will start lefty Ryan Yarbrough (3-1, 3.96 ERA), who has an 8.31 ERA in his last two starts but pitched six innings of one-run ball against these same Angels in May.
The Angels will counter with Jack Kochanowicz (3-8, 5.53 ERA), who is tied for the league lead in losses. This matchup between two struggling pitchers will be a key focus on the scores and odds board.
As the Yankees try to avoid a historic fourth straight shutout against one of the other 29 MLB teams, the pressure is immense. To see if our experts think they can finally break through, check out our daily MLB picks.
