T.M. Selection: New York Yankees -1.5.

I like the New York Yankees runline in this game against the Oakland Athletics on Saturday. The A's have not looked that good in their games lately. They have lost 2 games in a row now and 4/5 of their previous 5 games. They have even lost a majority of their games during that time by 2+ runs, and I think this is going to be another game where they get blown out by the Yankees who are starting to surge again. The Yankees have won 5 games in a row now and are starting to get back on a roll like they were for a majority of the year. Stanton returned to their lineup on Friday from injury and he has really helped spark this offense, putting up 16 runs in the 2 games he has been back for. The A's are one of the worst teams in the league and they have had a terrible offense all year, I see the Yankees rolling over them here like they did in the previous 2 games. Adam Oller (2-6, 6.41 ERA) is up for the A's here and he hasn't looked good at all in his rookie year here. He has been giving up a ton of runs in his starts all year, he hasn't been as bad lately but, I expect the Yankees to put up a ton of runs on him since their offense is a lot better as of late. Oller has seen the Yankees in 2 relief appearances this year where he didn't give up any runs, but he will give up runs here in an extended period of time out on the mound. Domingo Germán (2-2, 3.89 ERA) is up for the Yankees here and he has looked a lot better in his starts since having that 1st bad start on his way back from injury. He has given up 2 runs or less in 5/6 out of his previous 6 starts, and I see him shutting down this bad A's offense with another great start here. I like the Yankees runline in this game.

T.M. Prediction: 8-3 Yankees.
