Athletics vs New York Yankees Prediction & Picks - MLB

Prediction published on 5/29/26, 6:19 PM  by Carlos Zabala | Modified on 5/30/26 at 6:35 PM in MLB Picks

In early April, the Athletics came to Yankee Stadium and took the series two games to one, but now they'll face off in Sacramento at the end of May against an inspired Yankees team coming off a sweep of the Royals.

Incredibly, the Yankees have won each of their last 14 games against Kansas City; the last one ended 7-0, with a home run by McMahon and an RBI triple by Rice. Judge went 1-for-3 but left four men on base. The good news from that game was the return of Cole after a long injury layoff, and he certainly delivered, pitching 6.2 scoreless innings, issuing no walks and striking out 10.

With their spirits high, the Yankees arrive to face an Athletics team that lost the NL West lead to the Mariners. They lost to them 9-1 in Sacramento. The A's defense committed two errors. Kurtz went 0-for-4 with two strikeouts, and with that, they've lost three straight games for the second time in May.
