The New York Yankees visit the Athletics tonight in Sacramento as -155 favorites, with the total set at 9.5.
Ryan Weathers' 85th-percentile strikeout rate lines up against an A's lineup that ranks 19th in MLB in runs scored, while J.T. Ginn's 29th-percentile walk rate hands a stacked Yankees offense exactly what it wants.
Here are my Yankees vs Athletics predictions and MLB picks for Saturday, May 30.
Who will win Yankees vs A’s today: Yankees -1.5 (+105)
The New York Yankees' offense will slump at some point, but today is not that day. For the second straight night, I'm grabbing New York to cover and would play it to -110.
This is a pitcher-strength-on-team-weakness angle. Ryan Weathers has, somewhat to my surprise, been impressive for the Yankees, carrying a Top-15 percentile strikeout rate (28.3%) that plays against an Athletics group whiffing at an above-average clip.
On the other side, J.T. Ginn's 10.6% walk rate forces him into hitter's counts, where he's allowing a .308 xwOBA, exactly the spot a hot Bronx offense feasts.
COVERS INTEL: Ginn's 83rd-percentile fastball run value is his best pitch, but he throws it only 13% of the time. 
Yankees vs A’s Over/Under pick: Under 9.5 (-105)
We cashed the Over last night due to the A's pushing over a late run. Tonight offers a lower-scoring environment.
Both pitchers have expected ERAs that sit below four, and both are genuinely solid arms from a metric perspective.
While I expect the Yankees to score enough to cover the run-line, Ginn will still be decent. He does a great job limiting hard contact with a hard-hit rate that ranks in the Top 14% of baseball, which is essential against the Yankees.
On the other side, we've already spoken about how Weathers whiff-inducing stuff should carry him. I'd play this to -122.
