Yankees vs. Angels prediction

I am here with the Angels. Are the Yankees the better and more reliable team? Sure, but Nestor Cortes just hasn’t been the same pitcher on the road as he was at home this season. Griffin Canning has had his own issues at times, but he’s been decent in the month of May and I’d say the Angels have the more reliable bullpen in recent weeks. I side with the angels on this one.
