Best Bet - New York Yankees -1.5 (-145)
(MLB) Oakland vs. NY Yankees,
Point Spread: -1.50 | -145.00 NY Yankees (Home)
Result: Win
Let's face it: we're looking at the best team in the American League, at home, against the worst team in the American League and one arguably more devoid of major league talent than any other team in the majors. The A's are horrible when it comes to putting runs on the board, ranking 29th in the majors with 3.15 runs per contest, while the Yankees are second with 5.06 per game. This is a New York team that rallied from being no-hit Saturday and the first 6.1 innings Sunday, yet rallied to beat the Astros in 10 innings to split a four-game set. Houston is a much better team than Oakland and Paul Blackburn has struggled of late, allowing at least four runs in three of his last five starts. New York, led by the power duo of Judge and Stanton, get the job done while Jordan Montgomery handcuffs the pop gun A's lineup and delivers a win.
