Oakland A’s at New York Yankees odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Thursday’s Oakland A’s at New York Yankees odds and lines, with MLB expert picks, predictions and best bets.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3011″ ]

The Oakland A’s (9-16) and New York Yankees (17-8) conclude their 4-game series Thursday. First pitch from Yankee Stadium is slated for 7:05 p.m. ET (MLB Network). Let’s analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s lines around the A’s vs. Yankees odds and make our expert MLB picks and predictions for the best bets.

Season series: Yankees lead 2-1

The A’s are 1-5 on their 10-game road trip after losing 7-3 in New York Wednesday night. They have struggled to score runs, averaging just 2.5 runs over the last 6 games. RF Brent Rooker produced the only offense for Oakland with a 3-run blast in the 6th inning.

New York is 4-2 on its 7-game homestand and has won 5 of their last 7 games. The Yankees got 5 of their 7 runs on HRs from CF Aaron Judge, 1B Anthony Rizzo, and RF Juan Soto while RHP Clarke Schmidt improved to 2-0 (5 1/3 IP, 3 ER, 6 K).

A’s at Yankees projected starters

LHP Alex Wood vs. LHP Nestor Cortes

Wood (0-2, 7.89 ERA) makes his 6th start. He has a 2.03 WHIP, 4.6 BB/9 and 8.3 K/9 in 21 2/3 innings.

  • Last start: Loss, 5 IP, 4 ER, 8 H, 1 BB, 4 K in 6-3 loss at Cleveland Guardians Saturday
  • 2024 road stats: 0-1, 6.00 ERA (9 IP, 6 ER) and a 1.89 WHIP in 2 starts

A’s at Yankees picks and predictions

Prediction

Yankees 5, Athletics 1

Moneyline.

PASS.

I love the Yankees (-250) to finish this series with a victory on Thursday, but I’m going to pay less juice on the run line.

Run line/Against the spread

BET YANKEES -1.5 (-130).

Cortes may not be a dominant pitcher, but he’s been fantastic at Yankee Stadium. The man hasn’t allowed a run to cross the plate in either of his starts at home. The A’s can’t hit lefties thus far on the young season; they are 2-5 against southpaws with a .207 batting average.

New York owns a 6-1 record against the NL West this season.

Over/Under

BET UNDER 8 (-115).

I’ve already spoken about Cortes’ unblemished mark in the Bronx this season, but this series has played to the Under in 2 of its 3 games. Neither of these teams are particularly good against left-handed pitchers, so I don’t expect much in the way of offensive fireworks.

The Oakland Athletics (8-28) and New York Yankees (19-17) continue a 3-game series Tuesday. First pitch at Yankee Stadium is slated for 7:05 p.m. ET. Let’s analyze FanDuel Sportsbook’s lines around the Athletics vs. Yankees odds and make our expert MLB picks and predictions for the best bets.

Season series: Yankees lead 1-0

Oakland dropped Monday’s opener 7-2 and has scored just 3 runs over its last 2 games. The Athletics have scored 3 runs or fewer in each of their last 6 losses.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3012″ ]

Athletics at Yankees projected starters

RHP Drew Rucinski vs. RHP Clarke Schmidt

Rucinski (0-2, 7.71 ERA) is lined up for his 3rd start. He’s posted a 2.25 WHIP, 5.8 BB/9 and 3.9 K/9 through 9 1/3 IP.

  • Is a 34-year-old who returned to MLB this year after a 4-year stint in the Korean Baseball Association

Athletics at Yankees picks and predictions

Prediction

Yankees 6, Athletics 4

Moneyline

Lots of juice and no room to maneuver with any leverage: PASS.

Run line/Against the spread

Schmidt figures as better than his surface numbers, has fared well at home and is facing an Oakland offense swung around to the lesser side of its platoon numbers.

In a game with a likable Over above all else, the Yankees -1.5 is the lean. But only an actionable play at -115 or better. PASS.

Play our free daily Pick’em Challenge and win! Play now!

Over/Under

The Over is 9-1 in Oakland’s last 10 road games vs. teams over-.500.

Both clubs have faced stronger-than-average pitching thus far. New York’s offense has been hindered by a .267 BABIP, and it appears to be one that has come around the last couple of days. It’s expected that OF Aaron Judge returns from the IL for this contest, and that bolsters the New York attack.

Oakland bats own a .259 BABIP with runners in scoring position and a .275 BABIP when leading off an inning.

Look for more traffic in this game, and for that traffic to produce 9-plus runs. TAKE THE OVER 8.5 (-122).

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.

Athletics at Yankees projected starters

RHP Frankie Montas vs. LHP J.P. Sears

Montas (3-7, 3.21 ERA) owns a 1.08 WHIP, 2.21 BB/9 and 9.2 K/9 through 89 2/3 IP across 15 starts.

  • Threw 8 shutout innings in his last start Thursday vs. Seattle Mariners (2 H, 2 BB, 8 K) and has authored a 2.70 ERA in his last 8 starts.
  • Most of his recent success has come at home. Has a 5.33 ERA on the road this season. Since 2020, has a 2.99 ERA at Oakland Coliseum and a 4.84 mark elsewhere.

Sears (2-0, 0.00 ERA) has appeared in 3 games, making 1 start. He has a 1.14 WHIP, 3.9 BB/9 and 9.0 K/9 in 7 IP.

  • Expected to be called up from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre for this game. Likely to be returned to the minors after this outing.
  • Has clocked a 1.82 ERA, 0.69 WHIP, 1.6 BB/9 and 11.6 K/9 over his last 34 2/3 IP at Triple-A.

Prediction

Yankees 7,  Athletics 3

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

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.

Oakland Athletics at New York Yankees odds, picks and predictions

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

The Oakland Athletics (25-49) and New York Yankees (53-20) meet Monday to open a 3-game set at Yankee Stadium. The opener is slated for a 7:05 p.m. ET first pitch. Let’s analyze Tipico Sportsbook‘s lines around the Athletics vs. Yankees odds with MLB picks and predictions.

Season series: First meeting; New York took 4 of-  from the A’s last season.

The Athletics opened their current trip over the weekend, taking 2 of 3 at the Kansas City Royals. Oakland has struggled mightily on offense — the A’s ranked 29th in MLB in scoring (3.18 runs per game).

The Yankees split 4 home games against the Astros last weekend. New York won twice despite never leading for an inning of the taut series between 2 favorites for the AL pennant.

Athletics at Yankees projected starters

RHP Paul Blackburn vs. LHP Jordan Montgomery

Blackburn (6-3, 2.97 ERA) is tabbed for his 15th start of the season. He has a 1.18 WHIP, 2.3 BB/9 and 6.5 K/9 in 75 2/3 IP.

  • Notched a 2.28 ERA, 1.14 WHIP over 8 starts from May 9-June 16 but misfired in his last star, allowing 7 runs on 10 hits in 4 IP Wednesday against the Seattle Mariners.
  • Owns a 1.00 road ERA in 45 IP.

Montgomery (3-1, 2.97 ERA) owns a 1.02 WHIP, 1.5 BB/9 and 6.6 K/9 through 78 2/3 IP in 14 starts.

  • Has been ultra consistent this season, possessing an ERA between 2.70-3.35 since April 27.
  • Has clocked a 2.61 ERA and 0.80 WHIP in 41 1/3 IP at Yankee Stadium.

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.

Oakland Athletics at New York Yankees odds, picks and prediction

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

The Oakland Athletics (44-28) wrap up their three-game set with the New York Yankees (37-33) at Yankee Stadium Sunday. First pitch is scheduled for 1:05 p.m. ET. Let’s analyze BetMGM Sportsbook‘s lines around the Athletics vs. Yankees odds with MLB picks and predictions.

New York rallied back from a 4-1 deficit by scoring a combined six runs in the 6th, 7th and 8th innings to beat Oakland 7-5 Saturday.

The Athletics won the first game of the series 5-3 so the series and aggregate scoring are squared up heading into the rubber match.

Season series: Tied 1-1.

LHP Sean Manaea makes his 15th start for the Athletics. Manaea is 6-2 with a 2.99 ERA (81 1/3 IP, 27 ER), 1.23 WHIP, 2.1 BB/9 and 8.6 K/9 this year.

  • Last outing: Win, 8-5, with 5 2/3 IP, 1 ER, 9 H, 1 BB and 5 K Monday vs. the Los Angeles Angels.
  • vs. Yankees on the current roster: 42 at-bats with a .214/.313/.357 slash line, 12/6 K/BB, 2 HR and 5 RBIs.

LHP Jordon Montgomery is on the rubber for the Yankees. Montgomery is 3-1 with a 4.20 ERA (70 2/3 IP, 33 ER), 1.19 WHIP, 2.4 BB/9 and 8.8 K/9 over 13 starts.

  • Last outing: No-decision with 5 1/3 IP, 4 ER, 5 H, 4 BB and 4 K in New York’s 6-5 victory at the Toronto Blue Jays Tuesday.
  • Montgomery has a 2.75 ERA, 0.97 WHIP, 6.0 K/BB rate and a .578 opponent’s OPS at home compared to a 5.71 ERA, 1.41 WHIP, 2.5 K/BB rate and a .780 opponent’s OPS on the road.

  • Money line: Athletics +125 (bet $100 to win $125) | Yankees -150 (bet $150 to win $100)
  • Against the spread/ATS: Athletics +1.5 (-150) | Yankees -1.5 (+125)
  • Over/Under: 9.5 (O: -105 | U: -115)

Prediction

Yankees 8, Athletics 4

Money line (ML)

“LEAN” to the YANKEES (-150) for a three-fourths unit only, because the Athletics have been red-hot recently, winning nine of their past 11 games, and are 18-9 this season vs. left-handed starters.

However, Montgomery has pitched far better at home than on the road and New York’s lineup is starting to show signs of life.

Over the past seven days, the Yankees are top-10 in the advanced hitting metrics of wRC+, wOBA, BB/K rate and WAR.

Also, I like New York’s talented lineup’s chances of squaring up Manaea’s stuff Sunday since he only uses a three-pitch arsenal with slow velocity and low spin rates.

Lastly, the Yankees have a significant edge in relief pitching as New York’s bullpen ranks in the top-10 of advanced pitching categories such as SIERA and xFIP whereas Oakland’s bullpen is bottom-10 in each of those.

Run line/Against the spread (ATS)

Slight “LEAN” to the YANKEES -1.5 (+125) for a quarter unit – if at all – because I anticipate some runs being scored in this series finale and New York could certainly add insurance to a lead against Oakland’s weak bullpen.

Over/Under (O/U)

“LEAN” to the OVER 9.5 (-105) for a half unit because New York’s lineup is stacked with power right-handed hitters that could tee off on Manaea and Oakland’s lineup ranks top-10 in wRC+, wOBA and OPS vs. lefties.

Oakland Athletics at New York Yankees odds, picks and prediction

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

The Oakland Athletics (44-27) and New York Yankees (36-33) continue a three-game series Saturday with a 1:05 p.m. ET first pitch at Yankee Stadium. Let’s analyze BetMGM Sportsbook‘s lines around the Athletics vs. Yankees odds with MLB picks and predictions.

RHP Chris Bassitt is the projected starting pitcher for the Athletics. He is 7-2 with a 3.43 ERA, 1.04 WHIP, 9.5 K/9 and 2.2 BB/9 over 86 2/3 IP spanning 14 starts.

Bassitt has done well to limit hard contact this season, but he’s been a ball-in-play beneficiary in posting a 2.70 ERA over his last 5 starts.

RHP Domingo German is the projected starter for the Yankees. German is 4-4 with a 3.88 ERA, 1.12 WHIP, 7.9 K/9 and 1.8 BB/9 across 65 IP over 12 starts.

German yielded 7 runs on 10 hits in 4 1/3 IP in his last start (Sunday at the Philadelphia Phillies). Prior to that contest, he had allowed just 9 runs over 35 2/3 IP and 6 starts from May 9-June 6.

  • Against the spread/ATS: Athletics +1.5 (-175) | Yankees -1.5 (+145)
  • Over/Under: 9 (O: -120 | U: +100)

Prediction

Yankees 6, Athletics 4

Money line (ML)

Oakland took Friday’s opener 5-3 and is 13-2 in its last 15 games. Over that stretch, the Athletics have averaged a robust 6.1 runs per game. The Athletics offense has been cranked up on the road all season. The A’s are second in MLB with a .770 team road OPS.

New York has experienced unexpected batting woes this season, and Yankee Stadium has done the team no favors. The Yankees are 27th with a .672 team OPS at home.

German will be up against an Oakland nine which has tallied 5.2 RPG on a .788 OPS over its last 27 games, but the Athletics are just a few clicks north of average against RHPs.

Bassitt is coming off a 104-pitch effort. The bullpen is not an Oakland strength, and A’s relievers are at a platoon disadvantage against right-handed bats, of which New York has many.

Peg NEW YORK (-135) as a moderate-confidence play.

FANTASY BASEBALL: Serious about winning your league? Sign up for BaseballHQ.com to dominate the competition. Subscribe now!

Run line/Against the spread (ATS)

PASS on the run-line play which involves more juice and requires more faith in the shaky offense of the Yankees.

Over/Under (O/U)

Statcast’s quality-of-contact numbers indicate the Yankees as being somewhat unlucky thus far. New York has come on lately with a .797 OPS over its last 10 games.

On a wind-out-to-center, warm afternoon in the Bronx, back the OVER 9 (-120).
