Top MLB Betting Odds & Picks for Athletics vs. Yankees

The first two games of the A’s-Yankees series have been entirely different, with the Yankees winning a 9-5 slugfest on Monday and a 2-1 pitcher’s duel last night. In today’s series finale, we expect more of the former.

The Yankees have scored nine or more runs in 15 games this season, so they could easily surpass this total by themselves against Oakland starter Cole Irvin (2-5, 3.29). New York has seemingly hit home runs against everyone this year, but that is especially true against lefties, as the Yankees’ 40 home runs against southpaws lead the majors.

New York counters Jameson Taillon (8-1, 3.19), and he looks like a pitcher going through some mid-season struggles relative to his early success. Taillon has pitched to a 4.45 ERA in June and is coming off allowing a season-high six earned runs in 5.2 innings in his last start. Taillon’s WHIP is also a 1.30 in day games compared to a 1.01 at night, and his OBA is also up 29 percentage points in day games.

New York’s 55-20 is tied for the sixth-best record through 75 games in MLB history. This is once again a mismatch against the major’s worst team, but we are finding more value in the total on this game as opposed to laying the steep moneyline odds with the Yankees.

Bet: Athletics-Yankees OVER 8.5 (-105 at DraftKings)
