Anderson has a 3.05 ERA and an 8-10 record with 102 strikeouts in 135-plus innings pitched. Despite his pitching abilities, the Halos need to bring in their bats to power through.

Yankees vs. Angels Prediction
It's been a tough road for the Angels with their struggling team and the absence of Mike Trout. Going up against clubs with winning records has been tough. However, they struck hard in Game 2 thanks to their pitching.
New York needs to be more consistent at the plate. Cortes will need support, and the bullpen must prevent runs. He is expected to pitch for five or six innings, depending on his performance. The Halos are predicted to be the underdog. The Pinstripers have a better shot of winning, especially with Aaron Judge's hot-hitting streak.
Prediction: New York - 1.5 (-250)
