New York Yankees vs Los Angeles Angels Prediction
The Yankees are going to be favored for obvious reasons, as they’re the Yankees. Schlittler has also been one of the best arms in baseball this season. I get it. The Angels are also a team I usually fade over the years. However, the Angels have a pitcher’s chance in this spot with Detmers on the mound, as he’s coming off an August where he allowed 23 hits and 5 runs in 30 innings. He’s not getting any run support, and he has just one win since July, but still. Detmers has been on a tear lately. I’ll take a shot with the Angels at home.
