Who will win A's vs Yankees today: Yankees moneyline (-230) There’s been a bit of a rush to fade Cam Schlittler in the market early this season after his postseason accomplishments last year. In some ways I understand it, but he’s simply responded by being untouchable, allowing zero runs over two starts and, perhaps more importantly, posting an expected ERA of just 1. 09 (top 2% of the league).

I’m backing him here. This is the ideal opponent for his elite chase rate, strikeout build. The Athletics own the highest whiff rate in baseball at 32% and the highest swing rate at 51%.
