New York @ Athletics picks

Aaron Judge is hitting .403 on the road this season, so it shouldn’t come as a big surprise that he’s made himself comfortable at Sutter Health Park in this series against the A’s, with a double in Friday’s win and a pair of homers yesterday. He’s looked like the league’s best hitter with a 1.258 OPS through 39 games, and I see his bat making more noise in today’s showdown against Luis Severino, who spent eight seasons in the Yankees clubhouse. While that doesn’t equal in-game experience against the veteran righty, Judge should have a handle on Severino’s pitches and what he likes to throw in different counts, and this is a nice price for the New York slugger to drive in at least one run here.
