Yankees vs Athletics Prediction
The Athletics pitching staff has been rocked up to this point and on the road against this Yankees lineup isn’t an ideal spot to stop the bleeding. The season is still young but Schlittler is off to a hell of a start and has to be in the running in the CY Young race. At least worth a look in terms of betting odds. Regardless, this is an ugly mismatch on paper. I have to side with the Yankees and I’ll take the RL to shave down the price.
