We go over how to watch Friday's game between the Yankees and Athletics and make some picks.

The A’s do a pretty good job of making contact (albeit often weak) and have recorded the sixth-fewest strikeouts in the majors over the previous 30 days.

The Yankees are just 4-11 in their previous 15 games at Oakland, but with their lineup getting healthier, they should be able to defeat the toothless A’s tonight. That’s the most runs the Yanks have scored in a game without the use of a home run in more than 20 years. The Yankees (77-48) scored 13 runs in a series-opening victory on Thursday. [New York Yankees](https://www.pinstripealley.com/) and [Oakland Athletics](https://www.athleticsnation.com/) square off on Friday with first pitch set for 9:40 p.m. And rookie backstop Shea Langeliers has posted a .953 OPS with seven extra-base hits through his first nine games in the majors. Catcher Sean Murphy is hitting .329 with a .975 OPS in 22 games this month. Yankees ace Gerrit Cole will be on the mound for the visitors, and he will match up against former Yankees prospect JP Sears. The Athletics (46-80) have the second-worst record in MLB and are at the very bottom of the American League.

Yankees vs. Athletics MLB Odds, Picks, Predictions: Why Backing ... (The Action Network)

Nick Shlain previews Friday's MLB game between the Yankees and Athletics, including betting odds and a prediction.

He has a 3.41 ERA on the season and a 3.79 ERA on the road. So far in the major leagues with New York and Oakland, Sears has a 1.93 ERA over 10 games (five starts). Cole’s xFIP is 3.43, and he has a 31% K%. Taking Oakland against the Yankees is probably also not a good bet — at least not a comfortable one — but I think it’s a necessary one in this spot. Get up-to-the-minute [MLB odds](https://www.actionnetwork.com/mlb/odds)here. Intuitively, I’m thinking the Yankees win this game, but at -240 on the moneyline, they have to win this game more than 70% of the time for this to be a good bet.

MLB odds, picks, and predictions for New York Yankees at Oakland A's on August 26. MLB betting free picks for moneyline and Over/Under.

I'm doubling down on the Yankees team total as my best bet tonight. The Yankees are also one of the worst teams in baseball to face when you have issues with your fastball. New York will field a lineup tonight with four batters hitting over .300 against the four-seam fastball on the season. They've scored four or more in all of them, and two of those four run showings came against two of the best pitchers in baseball. For starters, my projections have New York scoring over 4.5 runs about 60% of the time. I'm seeing another blowout on the horizon and will gladly back New York at the Coliseum tonight. [JP Sears](https://www.covers.com/sport/baseball/mlb/players) (5-0, 1.93 ERA): Sears has been very good for Oakland this season, and the record and ERA tell that story pretty clearly. Oakland has the sixth worst barrel rate in baseball, and these are the matchups Cole has thrived in. Cole isn't as strong on the road — where he's given up just four earned runs in similar starts — but this matchup still suits him pretty favorably. [Gerrit Cole](https://www.covers.com/sport/baseball/mlb/players/14356/gerrit-cole) (9-6, 3.41 ERA): We can safely say that Cole's season has been mixed. Since then, they have dropped to around -250 in some spots, with the A's returning at close to +200. Thursday saw an offensive explosion from the Yankees in a 13-4 win.

We predict Cole’s recent struggles will continue, and JP Sears will pitch lights out against his former team, so our best bet is on the Athletics pulling off the upset on Friday night. Oakland is countering with JP Sears on Friday night, and the 26-year-old was acquired from the Yankees at the trade deadline. Cole hasn’t looked like his typical self, and the Cy Young winner is 0-4 with a 4.62 ERA in six appearances in the second half this season. New York’s Gerrit Cole will toe the rubber for the visitors, and he is 9-6 with a 3.41 ERA in 25 starts. [DraftKings Sportsbook](https://offers.alarmsports.com/redirects/v1/offers/affiliate/dk/?tags=evergreen) The left-handed pitcher was traded to the Athletics by New York at the deadline, and our experts predict he can perform well on Friday night.
