The Yankees offense has been quiet so far this season and they got shut out in yesterday’s game. The offense has had its ups and downs and it is not as good as it was last season at this time. Both pitchers in the matchup are pitching well for their teams with good ERA’s, and keeping runs and homeruns off the board, while keeping their strikeout counts up. Blackburn for the A’s has been their best ace and he has done well this season with an ERA of 1.08 and winning all four games. He’s only given up 3 earned runs in four games and no homeruns. This game shouldn’t see too many runs as the offense for the A’s has struggled all season and the Yankees have struggled with theirs. The Yankees are 8-14-1 (O/U) to the Under this season and New York has played their last six of seven games at home to the Under. Oakland are also 4-5-1 (O/U) to the Under in their last ten road games. The value for bettors in this game is to take the Under the Total.

Best bet: take the Under the Total.
