Jeffrey Springs came back strong in 2025 after Tommy John Surgery. He went 11-11 with a 4.11 ERA for Oakland in his first year with the A's after being traded. Now in 2026, he's 1-0 with a 2.38 ERA through two starts. Allowed just seven hits in 11.1 innings with nine strikeouts and four walks.
Oakland is hitting .226 with 10 home runs. Shea Langeliers leads the team with five homers and eight RBI. Max Muncy is batting .302. Brent Rooker has eight RBI despite hitting just .150.
The Athletics won yesterday 3-2 behind a strong bullpen effort. They're 4-7 on the season but won two of their last three.
Ryan Weathers has two starts with the Yankees. 4.50 ERA. Eight innings. Allowed 10 hits and five walks with 11 strikeouts. He is still searching for the form that made him a top-10 pick.
New York is hitting .218 with 11 home runs. Ben Rice leads the team with three homers and 11 RBI while batting .333. Giancarlo Stanton is at .341. Aaron Judge has three homers and seven RBI. Will the Yankees be able to bounce back?
Springs has been sharp. Weathers has been shaky. But the Yankees are at home with a bullpen that's been lights out. Their 2.47 team ERA is the best in baseball. Oakland's 5.20 ERA is third-worst. Take the home team despite the heavy price.
