New York Yankees vs. Athletics Prediction
I’m on the Yankees in this one. I think this is just a situation where the Yankees are one of the hottest hitting teams in baseball and they’re not a team I want to step in front of in this ballpark. Weathers was solid against the A’s in his first start against them earlier this year but lost 1-0 because the Yankees started slow. I think Ginn’s in a bad spot here as the Yankees come to play and get the job done here.
