Athletics vs. New York Yankees Prediction

I’m on the under in this one. I think this could be a bit of a duel here as both teams have had issues against left-handed pitching this year and the weather report suggests a more favorable condition for a lower-scoring battle here. I think this one could be tight so give me the under here.
