Angels vs Yankees Prediction, Picks and MLB Prop Bets, Monday, 6/16: Take Home Team, Goldschmidt to Hit

The American League East-leading New York Yankees are the favorite in the MLB odds as they try to shake off a lost weekend on Monday night against the visiting Los Angeles Angels in the opener of a three-game series.

The Yankees have lost five of their last eight after getting swept at Boston over the weekend, capped by a 2-0 setback on Sunday. New York is still the favorite in MLB future odds to win the AL pennant at +225.

The Angels also had a rough series at Baltimore, losing all three games and allowing 19 runs in the last three contests. Rookie Nolan Schanuel, Zach Neto, Mike Trout and Jo Adell could be the best players from Los Angeles to use in your MLB prop bets.

Angels vs Yankees Prediction Today, June 16, 2025

My prediction

• New York Yankees -1.5 Runs (+105)

The Yankees can’t be too pleased by their performance against the Red Sox, especially an offense that produced five runs in the past four games. Aaron Judge had just one hit (a homer) in 12 at-bats versus Boston and is due to break out. Clarke Schmidt (3-3, 3.60 ERA), who blanked the Angels over six innings last month, starts for the Yankees and makes them our MLB expert pick.

Bet on Yankees -1.5 (+105)

• Angels vs Yankees Under 8.5 Runs (-120)

This is a tough one because both teams will be pumped up after an embarrassing series. There will be some runs scored, but we think that the logical play for this MLB matchup is a 5-3 or 4-2 score. Schmidt has been good, and Los Angeles scheduled starter Jose Soriano (4-5, 3.86) is coming off a 12-strikeout effort.

Angels vs Yankees Prop Picks and Best Bets

• Paul Goldschmidt 2+ Total Bases From Hits (+120)

Paul Goldschmidt has been quite productive in his first season with the Yankees. The veteran first baseman is batting .311 with seven homers to go along with 31 RBIs and is 7-for-24 over the past seven contests. Goldschmidt reached base five of 10 times in the series against the Angels last month with a pair of doubles and looks like your best MLB prop bet.

Bet on Paul Goldschmidt 2+ Total Bases From Hits (+120)

• Angels vs Yankees Under 16.5 Hits (-143)

The Angels started the week with only one team below them in total hits for the season and the Yankees were 10th, despite their lofty record. While we think both teams will produce more than they did over the weekend, the pitching staffs should hold them to 16 or fewer. Check MLB news for lineup and injury updates, which could make the bet even more solid.

Bet on Angels vs Yankees Under 16.5 Hits (-143)

• Runs In First Inning – NO (-125)

Soriano and Schmidt have both pitched well this season, and the most logical MLB prediction is that the scoring opens after the first six outs are recorded. However, both teams are among the top seven teams in the majors in first-inning runs. The Yankees are averaging 0.69 in the opening frame and the Angels 0.66. We’ll bet they go scoreless on Monday.

Bet on Runs In First Inning – NO (-125)
