Starters: Luis Severino (4-1, 2.32 ERA) vs. Andrew Heaney (0-1, 9.64 ERA)
Pitching:
Luis Severino will look for his third win in a row in the series opener against the Angels. He’s been phenomenal in his last two starts during which he pitched for 13.0 innings and gave up only an earned run on four hits with 14 fanned batters. Severino will be in a duel with Andrew Heaney, who is coming off an ugly outing on Apr. 20 at home against the San Francisco Giants, who ripped him for seven earned runs in six hits (including three home runs) in 4.1 innings of an 8-1 Angels loss.
Hitting:
- Giancarlo Stanton is 11-for-31 (.355) with two homers on the road this season.
- Mike Trout is 12-for-42 (.286) with a pair of doubles and five home runs at home this year.
Writer’s Prediction:
New York wins, 6-3.
Game 2: April 28, 9:07PM EST
Starters: Masahiro Tanaka (3-2, 5.28 ERA) vs. Garrett Richards (3-0, 3.46 ERA)
Pitching:
The Yankees experienced an abundance of luxury from both worlds the last time Masahiro Tanaka toed the rubber. On Apr. 23 Tanaka bounced back from a couple of bad starts and pitched for 6.2 innings and allowed just an earned run on three hits in a 14-1 win at home over the Minnesota Twins. He also struck out five. Obviously, there was an ample run support for Tanaka in that game. Tanaka is 1-0 with a 1.63 ERA in four starts in his career versus the Halos. The Yankees are also tops in run support per nine innings in the majors with 6.06. Garrett Richards, on the other hand, is looking to get his first career victory against the Yankees, as he is 0-3 with a 6.65 ERA in opposite the Bronx Bombers. He is coming off a six-inning start against the Giants on Apr. 21, surrendering two earned runs on five hits with a fantastic count of 11 strikeouts in a 4-3 home win.
Hitting
- Brett Gardner is 2-for-7 against Richards
- Albert Pujols is 3-for-9 against Tanaka.
Writer’s Prediction:
New York wins 5-4.
Game 3: April 29, 8:08PM EST
Starters: CC Sabathia (1-0, 1.86 ERA) vs. Tyler Skaggs (3-1, 2.96 ERA)
Pitching:
CC Sabathia has pitched well in two starts since returning from a hamstring injury. Over that stretch, the former Cy Young winner has pitched for 10.1 frames and surrendered zero earned runs on six hits in wins against the Minnesota Twins (8-3, Apr. 24) and the Toronto Blue Jays (4-3. Apr; 19). As of Tyler Skaggs the left-handed hurler is coming off a seven-inning shutout work in a 2-0 road win against the Houston Astros and their big bats. He allowed just four hits with only one free pass issued.
Hitting:
- Mike Trout is 5-for-14 with two homers against Sabathia
- Ian Kinsler is 9-for-35 with a pair of blasts off of Sabathia.

Los Angeles wins, 4-3.
