This is a great spot for newly-acquired Javier Vasquez to get on track for the Yankees. He is up against an Oakland team in which he allowed just 1 earned run in 8 innings in his last start vs. the A’s. Oakland is having troubles scoring runs again this season, putting up just 4.2 runs/game this year. Oakland has scored 4 or less runs in 6 of their last 7 games overall. The Yankees are having no problem scoring runs, which shouldn’t come as a surprise considering they have the best line-up in baseball. New York is putting up 5.7 runs/game overall and 6.0 runs/game on the road in 2010. The Yankees are 41-10 (+21.9 Units) against the money line after 3 straight games where they committed no errors over the last 2 seasons. This team also plays great defense in the field which gets overlooked by their powerful line-up. The Yankees are 41-12 in their last 53 games as a favorite and 13-3 in their last 16 games as a road favorite of -151 to -200. The Athletics are 0-5 in their last 5 games as a home underdog. The Yankees are 11-2 in their last 13 meetings with Oakland. Take New York on the Money Line.
