<h2>Athletics @ Yankees &#8211; First Pitch: 12:35 p.m.</h2>

<div>Expected Forecast: Clear Sky, 71°</div>

<p>In an exciting match-up at the Bronx, the New York Yankees prepare to face off against the Oakland Athletics. The first pitch is scheduled for 12:35, with the Yankees emerging as the clear favorites with a -237 price. Surprisingly, it&#8217;s not Gerrit Cole on the mound today but Jhony Brito, stirring debate on whether the moneyline price is justified.</p>
<p>Despite the Yankees&#8217; recent boost with Aaron Judge&#8217;s return and their successful scoring streak against the A&#8217;s, the steep price might not tempt many. An alternative betting strategy could be focusing on the Yankees&#8217; team total. This approach seems more reasonable, especially when considering the inconsistent performance of the Oakland Athletics.</p>
<p>Expectations for a high-scoring game are high, given Kyle Muller&#8217;s current ERA and worrying .391 weighted on-base average against lefties, as a left-handed pitcher himself. Furthermore, he has been struggling with walks this season, an issue the Yankees&#8217; lineup could exploit. The first seven batters in the Yankees lineup boast a walk rate of at least 10%, with Gleyber Torres leading with a 21% walk rate.</p>
<p>On the other hand, Brito&#8217;s high expected Fielding Independent Pitching (xFIP) number is a cause for concern. However, facing the Oakland Athletics&#8217; lineup, which made headlines with three home runs by a single player (Jordan Diaz) in their last game, might provide an interesting challenge.</p>
<p>All signs point to an exciting, run-rich game on the horizon, promising plenty of action for both teams and their fans.</p>
