Oakland at New York

The Yankees are off a sweep of the Blue Jays. But the pesky A's and their smallest payroll in baseball are not Toronto. In fact, they are every win as good as the Yankees on the season. C.C. Sabathia has just never gotten it going this season, and has pitched perhaps his worst baseball in the second half of the season. As a result, the Yankees have lost his last four starts. Jerrod Parker has pitched well down the stretch with the A's winning five of his last six starts. The odds in this one are a lot longer than the true expectation, as the oddsmakers always seem to pad the Yankees - especially behind Sabathia. The A's are 48-22 in their last 70, and have won seven of eight behind Parker on the road. Play on Oakland.
