The Yankees are back on their home turf tonight as they square off against the Los Angeles Angels in a classic East vs. West matchup: Los Angeles Angels vs New York Yankees.
The three-game series comes after the Yankees split their series against the Rays, going down in the last two games. While the back-to-back losses in Tropicana Field certainly hurt, the Yankees are still leading the AL East by five.
Compare that to the Angels, who are second in the AL West. The Angels have struggled a bit this season but are doing better than expected and currently sitting in an AL Wild Card spot.

- Tuesday, 7:05 PM ET – Jordan Montgomery (0-1) vs. Noah Syndergaard (4-2)

- Since throwing a no-hitter earlier in May, Detmers has hit a rough patch, giving up eight runs in 9.2 innings.
- Thursday, 7:05 PM ET – Jameson Taillon (5-1) vs. Shohei Ohtani (3-3)
- Taillon has been stellar for four straight weeks, capping it off last Friday with eight shutout innings against the Rays. For May, he has a 2.07 ERA in his five starts.
