Free Pick: Yankees RL (-1.5)
Luis Severino is off to a rough start with command issues, walking 8 batters across his first two outings. He holds a 6.42 ERA and 1.80 WHIP, and things don’t get easier against his former team. In two starts vs the Yankees last season, he was shelled for 15 runs in just 7.2 innings.
This current Yankees lineup has crushed Severino — hitting .277 with a .417 wOBA and .556 xSLG across 75 career plate appearances.
The Athletics bullpen doesn’t offer much relief either, ranking 22nd in ERA and coming off a blown save last night after using their top arms.
Will Warren has been solid for New York with a 2.70 ERA through two starts and gets strong bullpen support behind him. The Yankees pen owns a 2.86 ERA, and key arms are fully rested heading into this one.
With the edge in both starting pitching and bullpen — plus a favorable matchup history — this sets up well for a multi-run Yankees win.
