New York Yankees vs Athletics Prediction & Picks - MLB

Prediction published on 6/27/25, 3:28 PM  by Carlos Zabala | Modified on 7/24/25 at 10:55 PM in MLB Picks

The Yankees will receive an ideal opponent to end their series losing streak when they begin a new one tonight at Yankee Stadium against the Athletics, whom they beat earlier this year in the series in Sacramento.

The Yankees rested on Thursday and on Wednesday were able to avoid a sweep in Cincinnati against the Reds. The Yankees will want to forget about Games 1 and 2 of that series as soon as possible, as they struck out 13 times in each. Fried's pitching could have changed the course of the series; the Yankees struck out 12 times but compensated for 12 hits, and Judge appears to have emerged from the collective slump earlier than his teammates and maintains his AVG as the best in MLB.

The Athletics are coming off their 50th loss of the season by losing consecutive series against the Guardians and then against the Tigers in Detroit. They will play with a rest disadvantage against the Yankees because they did not rest on Thursday, the day in which they were again subjected to the Tigers pitching and only collected 3 hits.
