Yankees vs. Athletics MLB Pick – August 22nd

The New York Yankees ran right into a different wall each night in Oakland. Why they better not be taken lightly, the Athletics showcased. It happens frequently with the Athletics, but they are certainly a much better team than they get credit for. That doesn’t equate into a postseason run or getting into the postseason for this matter. Oakland are certainly supporting themselves out thanks to a success, though.
They are winners in half their seven games and possess the Yankees on Thursday night on the edge of a sweep. The Indians and Rays have triumph the A’s, but the Rays have played games and the Indians one more. That places the Athletics in a place going into the last stretch of August.
The Yankees acquired some unlikely assistance last night. The Tigers gained to keep the Astros. Despite struggling in Oakland the previous two days, the Yankees would still be moving to the postseason as the No. 1 seed at the AL.. The Dodgers won again last night to notch their triumph over the season. That puts them a win.
They aren’t going anywhere close to home after this series in Oakland. They stay about that weekend, with a three-game series from the Dodgers and then a three-game series in Seattle. The Yankees will not be back home until August 30th.
Masahiro Tanaka will be tasked with obtaining the Yankees out of this hole before going into Dodger Stadium. Tanner Roark will likely be on the side for the Athletics. Head under for our complimentary Yankees vs. Athletics select.

Tanner Roark will make his fourth start. He’s currently pitching beyond expectations thus far with the A’s. The same as they discovered a diamond the A’s traded in the deadline for Roark. And a trade for Roark is going to move the meter in terms of it being a huge move. On the other hand, the Athletics need the results to display about the diamond instead of in the media.
Roark isn’t as good as Fiers, however he’s been pitching like it lately. Prior to joining Oakland, Roark published a sensible ERA of 4.24 in 110.1 innings together with the Reds. In three starts with the A’s, he’s been eloquent with a 2.55 ERA and 1.19 WHIP. Back in 2017 and 2018, he posted numbers as everything you’ve seen in Cincinnati this past year.
Roark had a 4.67 ERA along with 4.34 ERA in these seasons. Not bad, but he’s definitely performing in Oakland at this time over his head. There going to be some negative regression for him. At 70 at-bats, the Yanks have hit 6 home runs and scored 11 runs. Tanaka has been almost brilliant against this Oakland roster. They are hitting only .159 using scored in 44 at-bats. He’s yet to allow a home run.
Tanaka is pitching under expectations in 2019, but he’s been exhibiting signs of improving. He has allowed only two runs from the previous 14.1 innings pitched. In his last 3 outings, Tanaka has submitted a 3.20 ERA and 0.97 WHIP. I had been about the Athletics last night and cashed a ticket. For the Yankees, Search on Thursday to complete their trip with a win to Oakland.
