The Story
The Los Angeles Dodgers walked off the Los Angeles Angels 1-0 on June 5, 2026, at UNIQLO Field at Dodger Stadium, with Freddie Freeman delivering the game's only run via a ninth-inning home run off Kirby Yates. The DiamondIQ model's estimate opened with the Dodgers as heavy favorites at 78% pre-game win probability, and after eight innings of scoreless baseball, that figure climbed steadily before Freeman's blast swung the probability a decisive 35.9 percentage points, sealing a final model estimate of 100%. The Angels were held to three hits and never seriously threatened, with Oswald Peraza's groundout to open the ninth representing the game's most damaging negative play for Los Angeles, dropping their win probability by 10.9 points and effectively extinguishing any late hope.
Reid Detmers was the story of the night for the Angels, turning in a performance that generated 42.9 percentage points of win probability for his club. He suppressed the Dodgers throughout his outing, limiting damage in key moments including a Mookie Betts lineout in the first and a Freeman strikeout in the sixth, each costing the Dodgers 7.4 percentage points. Roki Sasaki contributed an additional 23.8 WPA points on the mound for the Dodgers, and Sam Bachman added 10.9 points, keeping the Angels at bay on the offensive side as well. Despite the stellar collective pitching effort from both staffs, it was Freeman who finished as the game's most consequential offensive performer with a net WPA of plus-31.7 and an RE24 of plus-0.9, turning what was shaping up as a potential Angels upset into a quiet Dodgers victory.
