New York Yankees vs Oakland Athletics Picks

Oakland Coliseum

<p>The Yankees host the Athletics in the final game of a 4-game set. New York holds a 2-1 series edge, and they have been playing good baseball over the past week.</p>
<p>The Yanks dropped the game last night, but prior to that, they had won 5 games in a row. They will aim for their second straight series victory, after being outmatched in their previous 6 series.</p>
<p>The Athletics haven’t set the baseball world on fire during their last week of play. They are potentially on their way to a second straight series loss after dropping 2 of 3 to the Marlins earlier in the week.</p>
<p>The Yankees have the edge in the odds on the road. According to <a href="https://sportsbook.fanduel.com/baseball">BetOnline</a>, New York is favored in the moneyline and the run line.</p>

<h2 id="dco5c">Yankees vs. Athletics Pitching Comparison</h2>
<p>Adrian Martinez, the 25 year old Mexican right hander for the Athletics, has not had an easy time in the Big Leagues. In his debut season this year, he has a 2-3 record, and has failed to get through 5 innings in 3 of 5 starts.</p>
<p>The trend points to him having success if he goes 5+ innings. The only two games that he has lasted that long have resulted in a win.</p>
<p>Martinez has also had an issue giving up home runs. He has allowed at least 1 home run in each of his last 4 starts. In 2 of those games, he gave up 2 of them.</p>
<p>He isn’t quite striking out a batter per inning, and he has walked 7 batters in his 5 starts. MArtinez is still young, and it shows in his production on the mound. Getting deep into games will be necessary for him to find success.</p>
<p>On the other side, Clarke Schmidt has only made 1 start this season. The third year player from Georgia has put up solid numbers as a reliever, but he has not pitched more than 3.1 innings in any game this season.</p>
<p>The long-term reliever has a 5-2 record, and in his only start of the season, he went 3 innings, allowing only one hit and striking out 5.</p>
<p>Schmidt has 2 saves this season, and he is used to coming into stressful late game situations. He only has 2 home runs against him in 33 innings pitched.</p>
<p>Can Schmidt start the game off strong and set the table for a bullpen game? Or will Oakland come out trying to ambush him early and often?</p>
<h2 id="n9fh">New York Yankees vs. Oakland Athletics Prediction and Picks</h2>
<p><strong>Yankees vs. Athletics Prediction:</strong> Yankees to win</p>
<p><strong>Yankees vs. Athletics Picks: </strong>Yankees -1.5 (-137 at <a href="https://sportsbook.fanduel.com/baseball/mlb/new-york-yankees-@-oakland-athletics-31697472">BetOnline</a>)</p>
<p>The Yankees have a hot streak still intact, even with the loss yesterday. They have a perfect opportunity to rough up a young pitcher who has failed to go past the 5th inning.</p>
<p>Expect the Yankees and Athletics to use a lot of bullpen pitchers in this game. It should keep the hitters guessing, so the Under may be something to look into.</p>
<p>The Yankees have the best value on the run line, but there could be something with the Over/Under, as the lines are pretty close.</p>
