Athletics vs Yankees predictions

If you’re keeping tabs on the Athletics going into this series finale at Yankee Stadium, there are a handful of guys worth watching. Jacob Wilson has been swinging a confident bat, and I’d expect him to keep that going—think a multi-hit day with steady contact and maybe a well-placed double thrown in. Brent Rooker is always lurking as a power threat, and a long ball wouldn’t shock me at all if Warren misses his spot. And Tyler Soderstrom has a knack for finding RBI opportunities, so chances are, he’ll put up a solid showing and keep the pressure on in the middle of Oakland’s order. If Lawrence Butler gets on base early, his speed could come into play, putting the Yankees’ defense on high alert.

Switching things up to the home side, the Yankees are riding high with Aaron Judge playing MVP-caliber baseball—seriously, is there a scarier hitter in MLB right now? I wouldn’t put it past him to deliver another monster performance, complete with an extra-base knock and his usual flair for run production. Cody Bellinger has been quietly consistent, and with the way he’s making contact, he’s primed for a multi-hit afternoon. Don’t sleep on Giancarlo Stanton, either. He’s due for one of his signature line drives that leaves everyone wondering if the ball will ever land. Will Warren’s on the mound, and he’s been a steady hand lately, so look for him to rack up strikeouts and keep the Yankees in control early.

Given the star power in the Yankees’ lineup and the way they’ve been producing runs, it’s tough to pick against them at home, especially with Judge seeing the ball so well and Stanton’s bat heating up. The Athletics can make things interesting, especially if their top hitters click, but the overall depth and pitching edge tip the scale toward New York. In a matchup like this, the Bronx Bombers just have too much firepower for Oakland to handle, and I’d count on the Yankees taking another notch in the win column at Yankee Stadium.
