Athletics vs New York Yankees Prediction
The Athletics are starting to show signs of life and Springs has had career success against the Yankees. I still can’t get there. The A’s have had far and away more stinkers than successes so far this season and the Yankees have been a buzzsaw through 11 games. I’m not sure Weathers deserves this sort of respect, but there’s been a gap between these teams. I have to side with the Yankees and I’ll take the RL to shave down the price.
