Los Angeles Angels vs. New York Yankees Preview

Los Angeles Angels vs. New York Yankees Preview - July 20th

With Ervin Santana going for the Angels and Phil Hughes pitching for the Yankees, there is no doubt that this will be one of the most anticipated games that both of these teams will play this season. While Santana's 8-7 record might not make it immediately noticeable, he has pitched very well this season for an Angels team that is definitely struggling to piece together wins. Hughes, on the other hand, was an All-Star just one week ago, and he is looking to continue his above average season into the second half for the Yankees. The Yankees at home will ultimately be too much for the Angels, even with Santana on the mound. The free bet selection, as picked by betsfreebets.com is going to be on the New York Yankees to win this American League contest.

Aside from Jered Weaver, Santana has been having the best season out of all the starters on the Angels roster. His record is average at best, but he is not getting the kind of run support that is necessary for wins to be posted in the "W" column. Santana seems to be putting everything together at the right time, and his stock is quickly rising as a solid American League pitcher. Torii Hunter's All-Star season has been one of great relief for the center fielder, as he has been struggling to piece together a season that is worthy of the lofty contract that he was given to go to the Angels. Hunter leads the team in both home runs and RBI and has definitely been the difference maker on several occasions this year. It will not be enough, however, as the Yankees should be your free wager play on Tuesday night.

Phil Hughes has been one of many great surprises that the Yankees have been privileged to see so far this season. With an 11-2 record, Hughes continues to be one of the top pitchers in the American League, which was obvious in his selection for the American League All-Star team. After a great first half of the season, Hughes can only hope that he has enough left to take his team into the Playoffs in October. Robinson Cano has been another one of those pleasant surprises that New York fans can get excited about. Cano is currently hitting .335 with 16 HR and does not look to be stopping any time soon. Nick Swisher is yet another Yankee who was able to find his way onto the American League All-Star team. With 15 HR and 49 RBI up to this point in the season, Swisher is doing a great job of taking the Yankees to another level in terms of what they can do on the field. It is this ability to compete on the highest level that makes New York the right pick for the free bet on July 20th.

The Yankees look to be making another one of their storied runs into the history books with a team that is loaded with unsung heroes. Swisher, Cano, and Hughes are not expected to be the go-to guys for this team, but that is how it has played out so far this year. Look for the free wager prediction of betsfreebets.com to come to fruition, as the Yankees should be the heavy favorites over the Los Angeles Angels.
