YANKEE$$
The Athletics are a surprise at 20-18, but their numbers at “home” have been sub-par (-$545) and they’ll be facing a New York team that owns the best OPS in MLB (.806). The Yankees have averaged 6.1 runs per game against left-handers, while the A’s have only managed 3.7 per game vs. southpaws. Carlos Rodon has been flashing excellent form through eight starts (2.96 ERA, 1.42 last two outings). He should get the best of JP Sears in Saturday’s expected lefty vs. lefty match-up. BEST BET: Rodon vs. Sears
