I think the Angels have a pitching advantage here, and thus see value in backing them.

My Yankees vs. Angels predictions and MLB picks for Tuesday, April 14 break it all down below.

Who will win Angels vs Yankees today: Angels +1.5 (-130)

Los Angeles Angels SP Reid Detmers’ 2.53 xERA ranks in the Top 15% of baseball through three starts, and that’s just a massive gap compared to New York Yankees hurler Ryan Weathers’ 5.12 xERA (Bottom 25th percentile).

This is effectively the difference between a top-third starter, and a guy who is a bridge to the rest of the rotation being healthy.

Detmers generates chases at a 95th percentile rate this year, which is consistent with what he’s been in his career.

Although New York has shown more patience at the plate this season, they still have plenty of hitters who carry a lot of swing and miss, which is always going to make them vulnerable to this pitching archetype.

I don’t think Detmers needs to be stellar for the Halos to hang here. Weathers is on borrowed time relative to his actual performances compared to the underlying metrics.

COVERS INTEL:

Ryan Weathers’ 2.81 ERA masks a 5.12 xERA, which is the largest gap between actual and xERA among Yankees starters this season.

Angels vs Yankees Over/Under pick: Over 8.5 (-120)

Weathers’ pending negative regression certainly plays an influential role here. I set the total at the same number as the market, but metrics such as favorable matchups and both teams’ offensive tendencies lean me towards the Over.

Mike Trout, Zach Neto, and Jo Adell have all had good success against Weathers historically. All three have over 40 plate appearances against him, and all three have posted a Top 20% wOBA against him over that sample.

If that trio has success, we can roughly estimate the Angels scoring 4-5 runs. That should be enough.

Although Detmers’ chase creation gives him an edge, his fastball-heavy approach also makes him a candidate to give up runs against the best fastball-hitting team in baseball YTD.
