New York Yankees vs Oakland Athletics Prediction

Carlos Rodon hasn't been great this season, especially on the road. This price feels a bit inflated. However, the Athletics aren't a good team and the Yankees need to keep winning to keep that top seed in the AL. The Guardians are on the Yankee's heels, and any slip-up could cost the team from the Bronx the top seed. Give me the Yankees and the RL for max betting value.
