Free Pick: Baseball Handicapper Predicts Yankees vs. Angels Game 3 ALCS

It’s time for the sportsbook winner on the NY Yankees-Anaheim Angels. The artist formally known as the California Angels are -135 at BetUs Sportsbook

Jered Weaver is on the hill for LA Anaheim and Andy Pettitte for the Bronx Bombers.  

Why not take the Yankees plus some money today? The Angels have been a thorn in the New Yorkers side for years and years and playing at the Big A has not been successful for the Bombers but the way things have been going in this postseason it’s a total no-brainer to make a small play on an underdog Yankee squad.
 
For one thing Andy Pettitte has always been money in the postseason and his start against
Minnesota was pretty darn solid last week so no matter how old the lefty is and how many issues he has had over the last few seasons I have to have confidence in him when the chips are down like this. All in all Jered Weaver has the better stuff at this point in 2009 but that cutter of Pettitte’s still cuts and there is no substituting the lefty’s guile and guts in pressure situations.
 
Then you have the Arod factor as he is the best player in the world right now. Sure the postseason has been his nemesis but things have changed and you know that Rodriguez is a lot more comfortable in his own skin these days. The guy has actually become somewhat clutch and when you factor in Jeter and Teixeira and Posada and a few others the Yankees are the best team on this field today.
 
Anaheim is a complete team that certainly can win this game but Brian Fuentes has become a total head case and can’t be trusted unlike Mariano Rivers who looked incredible in game two as he normally does all the time. Don’t also belittle how all of a sudden the Halos, like the Twins in the first series against the Yankees, have started to do uncharacteristic things making me believe that these teams are starting to shrivel up a bit under the pressure of playing the big bad Yankees. Obviously that terrible error led to the game two Yankee win and all in all we may be seeing the Anaheim players squeezing their collective throats a little bit here ala those Twinkies in the first round.
 
Anaheim may win this as they are still a quality dangerous team with Abreu, Vlad, Hunter, Morales and others but plus some money with Pettitte and an undefeated playoff team thus far is the way to go for me for sure!
