Preview
The Oakland Athletics and the New York Yankees will play the second game of the series at the Yankee Stadium on Tuesday night. The Yankees cameback from losing 5-3 at the end of the 5th inning scoring six runs in the seventh inning. Two catcher's interference calls, a hit batter, and a walk sparked a bizarre six-run seventh inning for the Yankees, and Josh Donaldson followed with a go-ahead, two-run double.
New York Yankees
The Yankees get here with a 54-20 record and have won 4 of their last 6 games. The team is averaging 5 runs per game. They're batting for .240 AVG, 367 runs scored in 580 hits and 121 home runs, ranking #2 in offense in the league behind the Los Angeles Dodgers. Aaron Judge leads the team and is batting for .294 with 28 home runs and 57 RBI.
Defensively they are allowing 3 runs per game and rank #1 in the league. Nestor Cortes leads the pitching staff with a 2.51 ERA, 85 strikeouts and 6 wins recorded with the Yanks.
Probable Pitcher: JP Sears (2-0, 0.00 ERA)
Sears will be on the mound in the 2nd game of the series for New York. The Yankees will call up Sears from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre to start Tuesday's game against the Athletics. To allow the team's other starters an extra day of rest, he will make a spot start against the Athletics. The southpaw threw seven scoreless innings in his first three outings (one start) of the season, striking out seven batters. He hasn't pitched against the Oakland Athletics in his career.
Oakland Athletics
The Athletics get here with a 25-50 record and have lost 5 of their last 7 games. The team is averaging 3.15 runs per game. They're batting for .211 AVG, 235 runs scored in 509 hits and 51 home runs, ranking #29 in offense in the league, the second worst just above the Detroit Tigers. Tony Kemp is batting for .227 AVG. Seth Brown leads the team with 36 RBI and 10 home runs.
Defensively are allowing 4.6 runs per game, ranking #22 in the league. Paul Blackburn leads the team with a 2.97 ERA, 55 strikeouts and 6 wins recorded with the A's.
Probable Pitcher: Frankie Montas (3-7, 3.21 ERA)
Montas will be on the mound in the 2nd game of the series for the A's. On Thursday against the Mariners, Montas pitched eight scoreless innings while striking out eight. He gave up two hits, two walks, and did not factor in the decision. He has a record of 1-0 with an ERA of 0.00 and 7 strikeouts in 2 appearances versus the New York Yankees in his career.
BETTING TRENDS
Oakland Athletics are 2-5 SU in their last 7 games against NY Yankees.
Oakland Athletics are 1-5 SU in their last 6 games when playing on the road against NY Yankees.
The total has gone UNDER in 8 of New York Yankees' last 12 games against Oakland.
New York Yankees are 17-2 SU in their last 19 games at home.
Prediction
The Athletics built a 5-1 lead against Jordan Montgomery in the first of the series and felt like they had the win in their hands but the Yankees cameback scoring 6 runs in th 7th inning to win the game. The A's will now send Frankie Montas to the mound who's coming from a great game against the Mariners pitching 8 scoreless innings. He had one start against the Yankees last season and earned the win holding them to zero runs across 7 innings. The Yankees will send JP Sears to start this game and he hasn't allow a run yet this season although he has only pitched 7 innings. If it wasn't for that bizarre 7th inning the under would hit so I'm gonna take the under again for the second of the series.
PICK: Under 7.5 (-110)
