It's not an overstatement to say Cam Schlittler has been untouchable on the road this season.
He has a mouth-watering matchup against a putrid offense tonight, making New York an appealing target with my Yankees vs. Angels predictions and MLB picks for Wednesday, Sept. 2.
Who will win Yankees vs Angels today: New York Yankees (61%)
For help understanding probabilities, see our odds calculator.
The Los Angeles Angels slot 28th in wOBA and 29th in K% against right-handed pitching the past month, and now they draw Cam Schlittler.
Schlittler ranks in the 98th percentile in Pitching Run Value and 94th percentile in K% this season. He also owns a remarkably strong 1.14 ERA over 15 starts away from Yankee Stadium.
You’d be hard pressed to find a worse matchup for the Angels to get going offensively.
The New York Yankees are ninth in xwOBA vs. southpaws on the year and seventh over the last month. They’re more likely to support their starter.
Play to 64%.
COVERS INTEL: The Angels sit last with a .294 OBP over the last month. Their inability to generate traffic will make it painfully tough to score on Schlittler.
Yankees vs Angels Over/Under pick: Under 6.5 (49%)
This total is very low and yet I still see value on the Under.
Schlittler has allowed two runs or fewer in 14 of his 15 road starts while chewing up 6.2 innings per game. He has been as good as anybody in the majors, and a miserably cold Angels offense is unlikely to change that.
Reid Detmers owns a 2.84 ERA in pitcher-friendly conditions. The Angels have an excellent bullpen behind him, with only three ‘pens posting a better xERA over the last month.
This strikes me as a 4-2 type of game. I’d play the Under to 51%.
Yankees vs Angels home run prediction: Ben Rice (19%)
Ben Rice hits for real power against pitchers of both handedness, making him a real threat no matter who is in the game.
Detmers attacks righties with a steady diet of fastballs and sliders. That sets up well for Rice, who has generated a .388 ISO and 17.8% barrel rate against those two pitches – both of which are elite outputs.
