The Athletics will send out Luis Severino here and Severino is 0-1 with a 6.48 ERA and 10 strikeouts this season. In his career, Severino is 0-2 with a 15.26 ERA and 5 strikeouts against the Yankees. Will Warren will start for the Yankees here and is 1-0 with a 2.70 ERA and 9 strikeouts this season. In his career, Warren is 2-0 with a 0.73 ERA and 14 strikeouts against the Athletics.
The Athletics come into this game looking to bounce back from their 5-3 loss at the hands of the Yankees on Tuesday to sit at 3-7 this season. After this series, the Athletics will head on the road again for a series against the New York Mets.
Going into Tuesday’s matchup, Shea Langeliers has a team-high 11 hits with 5 home runs and 8 RBIs while Tyler Soderstrom’s added 7 hits with 2 doubles, a triple and 6 RBIs. Brent Rooker has 6 hits with 2 home runs and 7 RBIs while Max Muncy has also chipped in 11 hits with 3 doubles, 2 home runs and 5 RBIs this season. Jacob Wilson also has 9 hits with 3 doubles and 3 RBIs this season.
The New York Yankees come into this game looking to add on to their win over the Athletics from Tuesday to sit at 8-2 this season. After this series, the Yankees will head on the road for a set against Tampa Bay.
Entering Tuesday, Giancarlo Stanton leads the Yankees with 13 hits including a double, a home run and 6 RBIs while Jose Caballero has 4 hits with an RBI as well. Cody Bellinger has 8 hits with a double, a triple, a home run and 3 RBIs and Jazz Chisholm Jr. has 7 hits with 3 doubles and 3 RBIs while Aaron Judge has 3 home runs and 7 RBIs. Ben Rice has 10 hits with 4 doubles, 3 home runs and 11 RBIs while Trent Grisham has 5 hits with a double and a triple and 4 RBIs.
I’m on the over in this one. I get the case to be made for either side in this game, but Severino has been rocked in his small sample size against his former team, and I still think that Will Warren is the weakest link of this Yankees rotation. I think that we’re going to get some runs in this game when all is said and done, but give me the over here.
