Athletics vs Yankees Prediction
Rodon is still working his way back into the mix with just 13 innings under his belt, but we know what he’s capable of when he’s right. Severino has been respectable this season and is having a strong month, but he’s been tagged against good hitters this season. Severino has also been owned by his former team. In 79 at bats agaisnt curetn Yankees, Severino is allowing a .278 batting average and .374 on-base percentage. Guys like Judge, Bellinger, and Jazz have strong numbers against Severino. Give me the Yankees and the RL for max betting value.
