They have been terrible and I am not sure I trust Billy Bean to work his magic this season.

New York

The Yankees just completed an impressive sweep against Kansas City. Not only did they take all three games but they outscored the Royals 23-4, jumping back into first place in the AL East in the process.

They are looking to keep the momentum going as they hit the road on Thursday. They have not faced the A’s this season and this is a great chance to get fat on the American League’s worst team.

If they are going to stay in contention they can’t blow this opportunity.

All indicators are that C.C. Sabathia is done as an effective Major League starter.

He may still look intimidating out on the mound but the results are anything but. He has been the Yanks worst starter but once in a blue moon he can surprise.

His last outing was his worst and shortest of the season. As a result he should be fresh for this one. Oakland does not have a great lineup but he will still have to pick his spots.

Oakland

I saw something somewhere that calculated Oakland as the least lucky team in the Majors which should come as no surprise.

When you look at their averages they definitely should not be as as bad their record is and they are at risk of being out of this thing pretty soon if Houston doesn’t fall back to the pack.

Pretty soon Billy Beane might shuffle the deck yet again getting rid of guys like Stephen Vogt and Josh Reddick for younger cheaper parts. He always trades too soon rather than too late.

Kendall Graveman was picked up from the Blue Jays in the Josh Donaldson trade and has promise. Unfortunately for Oakland he proved he wasn’t quite ready and they sent him down after a rough start in April.

They brought him back up a week ago and whatever happened down there worked because he pitched six shutout inning at Tampa to get the win.

He is at home but taming the Yankees veteran lineup will likely be a bit more challenging.

MLB Betting Trends:  

  • NYY are 1-7 in their last 8 road games.
  • NYY are 18-6 in their last 24 Thu. games.
  • Under is 6-2 in NYY last 8 road games.
  • OAK are 1-10 in their last 11 Thu. games.
  • Under is 6-1-1 in OAK last 8 overall.
  • Over is 19-7 in OAK last 26 home games.
  • OAK are 1-10 in their last 11 Thu. games.
  • Under is 6-1-1 in OAK last 8 overall.
  • Over is 19-7 in OAK last 26 home games.

MLB Betting Prediction:  Over 8

Backing the A’s these days is risky, even with Sonny Gray on the mound.

MLB Score Prediction:  Oakland 6 – New York 5

In this one I think they can get to C.C. but Graveman is going to give up his share as well. Take the over.
