Pitching matchup: Yankees will start with Hughes, who is pitching way better in last games. In last 3 starts he posted ERA 3.10 with whip 1.230. On other side we have Parker, who is 6-4 to the season with ERA 3.16, but in last two games he allowed 10 runs in 10 innings, his ERA in last 3 starts is 5.71. He will have to face the best team in baseball, who will be hungry after two losses. Both teams have very good bullpen.

 

Key trends: Yankees are 44-15 in their last 59 games after losing the first 2 games of a series. Yankees are 4-0 in Hughes’ last 4 starts vs. Athletics.Yankees are 13-3 in the last 16 meetings in Oakland.

 

Reason for pick: Yankees are very good after they lost two consecutive games. They will start with pitcher, who is pitching better lately, on other side we have pitcher, who is struggling little bit and he allowed 10 runs in last 10 innings. Now he will have to face the best team in MLB. I think NYY will attack from the start of the game. Yankees have also very good record in Oakland in last years.
