Athletics vs New York Yankees Prediction

The Yankees continue to play great ball at both ends and you can say the opposite for the Athletics. Severino is still trying to work his way into the rotation and through 65 at-bats against current Yankees, he’s allowing a .277 batting average, a .347 on-base percentage and six homers. Warren continues to impress in his short career and he’s had success against the A’s through two games. I’m not stepping in front of these Yankees, especially for a team like the Athletics. Give me the Yanks and the RL for max betting value.
