Oakland Athletics at New York Yankees odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Tuesday’s Oakland Athletics at New York Yankees odds and lines, with MLB expert picks and predictions.

The Oakland Athletics (25-50) and New York Yankees (54-20) continue a 3-game series at Yankee Stadium with Tuesday’s 1st pitch set for 7:05 p.m. ET. Let’s analyze Tipico Sportsbook‘s lines around the Athletics vs. Yankees odds with MLB picks and predictions.

Season series: Yankees lead 1-0 after a come-from-behind 9-5 victory in Monday’s series opener.

The Athletics’ .601 OPS ranks last in MLB. But with 5 runs Monday, Oakland has now scored 19 runs in its last 3 games. A 14-of-27 (.519) mark with runners in scoring position has been a big reason behind the short-term surge in runs.

The Yankees are 15-2 at home since May 31. New York has outscored foes 97-36 over that stretch.

Run line/Against the spread

TAKE THE YANKEES -1.5 (+110).

New York’s bullpen is in better shape. In their last dozen games against under-.500 clubs, the Yankees are 12-0 with an average margin of victory of 5.08 runs.

Over/Under

On an evening with a slight breeze out to the short porch in Yankee Stadium’s right field, BACK THE OVER 7.5 (-125).

The Oakland offense has some systemic upside in its numbers. Batting-average-on-ball-in-play rates in key, high-leverage situations have been way low (.236 BABIP when leading off innings, for instance). That’s not to say the A’s don’t have a bad offense. It’s just not a .601-OPS-bad offense.

Prediction

Yankees 7, Athletics 4

Money line

This matchup pits the AL’s best record against its worst. And with this juice, the bettor is paying heavily at both ends. Nothing to see here; MOVE ALONG.

Run line/Against the spread

With an Over lean to the game, this price on the powerful Yankees is quite attractive. And bettors may need to act fast on this one.

TAKE NEW YORK -1.5 (-135).

Over/Under

Both starting pitchers carry in some generous rates around the margins and –have higher expected-ERA figures.

The Over is 5-0 in Montgomery’s last 5 starts with the total set at 7.0-8.5.

The Yankee bullpen has been below average of late, although not in surface results. And both bullpens could have used a Monday off. That all spells Over.

The Athletics’ offense is a bottom-shelf one to be sure. But Oakland is better on the road and against lefty pitching.

BACK THE OVER 8.5 (-110) on a strong lean.
