New York is 68-32 in their last 100 home games and 4-10 in their last 14 games against the AL West while the under is 20-6 in their last 26 home games.
Pick
I’m backing Oakland +1.5 here. I just don’t feel that the Yankees should be this heavily favored with Clarke Schmidt on the mound. I get why they are though, and the word is that Aaron Judge could ome back for this game, but I’m just not buying it. The Yankees are 0-7 on the run line in Schmidt’s starts this year and I think it’s a one run game if the A’s don’t win it outright. Give me Oakland +1.5 here.
