The Los Angeles Angels are flying into the Bronx, armed with an 8-8 record, to face off against the New York Yankees, who are sitting pretty at 8-7. Reid Detmers, the Angels' lefty with a 0-1 record and a 4.60 ERA, will take the mound against Ryan Weathers, the Yankees' southpaw with a 0-1 record and a much more appetizing 2.81 ERA. Let's be real, Detmers has some work to do to get his ERA under control - right now, it's a bit of a ' Detmers-sized' hole.
The Yankees have been boasting a stingy 2.78 ERA, while the Angels have been struggling with a 3.99 ERA - that's like trying to win a game with a .210 batting average, which, coincidentally, is what the Angels have been working with. And to make matters more interesting, the Angels have a couple of players, Kirby Yates and Alek Manoah, nursing injuries on the 15-Day IL. Will the Yankees' pitching phenoms prove too much for the Angels, or can the visitors spark a road win? Make your pick or join the discussion on StreakChat.
