MLB Game Preview: Angels Face Yankees – Predictions, Picks & Odds

The Los Angeles Angels and New York Yankees play the series’ second game tonight at Yankee Stadium. Filmogaz.com favors the Angels on the run line and expects offense in this matchup.

Game information

Date: Tuesday, April 14, 2026. First pitch is scheduled for 7:05 p.m. ET.

Location: Yankee Stadium, Bronx, New York. Television: FDSN-W and YES.

Starting pitching matchup

Los Angeles will send Reid Detmers to the mound. His line shows a 0-1 record and a 4.60 ERA.

Detmers posts a 2.53 xERA through three starts. That xERA ranks in baseball’s top 15 percent.

New York counters with Ryan Weathers. His stat line shows a 0-1 record and a 2.81 ERA.

Weathers carries a 5.12 xERA, placing him near the bottom 25 percent of starters. That gap is the largest between ERA and xERA among Yankees starters.

Why the Angels hold value

Detmers creates swings-and-misses at a very high rate. His chase rate sits in the 95th percentile this season.

Weathers’ underlying metrics suggest negative regression. His ERA currently masks weaker expected performance.

Several Angels hitters have history against Weathers. Mike Trout, Zach Neto, and Jo Adell all have more than 40 plate appearances versus him.

Each of those three posts a top 20 percent wOBA against Weathers across that sample. Their success raises the Angels’ scoring probability.

Detmers relies heavily on a fastball approach. That trait could allow runs against teams hitting fastballs well this year.
