The MLB is nearly reaching the 60-game line for each team, and even though most of the teams already know how far they could go by the end of the season, it’s a fact that this season has been more competitive than the previous one. With this information in mind, it cannot be taken as surprising that the Athletics still have many chances of competing for the AL West Division, whereas the New York Yankees are in Wild Card spots due to the Rays’ solid performance.

Taking these factors into account, next Sunday’s game between the Yankees and the Athletics is expected to be one of the most entertaining, not only because the winner will take the series but also because that would grant them the ability to keep pushing their respective divisional leads. To secure the victory, the Yankees decided to have Will Warren as the opening pitcher, it being worth noting that he has a 6W-1L record with only 28 earned runs in more than 58.1 innings played.

Meanwhile, the Athletics are also expected to fiercely compete in the first innings of the game, as Jacob Lopez is having a fantastic season with a 4W-2L record. However, it cannot be ignored that Lopez struggled the last time he faced a powerful batting team like the Los Angeles Angels, so it makes sense based on the odds to expect the Yankees to secure a win in this series.
