New York Yankees vs The Athletics Prediction, Odds and Picks for Today, 05/31/26

The New York Yankees and Athletics play the series finale on Sunday, and it’s a rubber game. The Yankees routed the A’s 8-2 on Friday as moderate favorites on Friday behind LHP Carlos Rodon, while the A’s picked up a 6-4 victory on Saturday as moderate underdogs (+130). The Over cashed both games, just in case you’re considering a same-game parlay (SGP). However, let’s focus on the side for our purposes. The Yankees are 18-14 on the road this season, while the Athletics are just 11-16 in their temporary home in West Sacramento.

The Yankees roll with RHP Will Warren (6-1, 3.55 ERA, 1.17 WHIP) for Sunday’s game, and he has actually been much better away from home. Warren is 2-0 with a 2.86 ERA while allowing just a single homer across 22 IP in four starts, and teams are hitting just .229 against him this season on the road. The A’s counter with LHP Jacob Lopez (4-2, 5.73 ERA, 1.77 WHIP). He is 0-1 with a 5.95 ERA across 19 2/3 IP in four home starts, serving up five homers with 13 walks in the span. As such, we’re going with the Yankees to get the job done, and to do so by at least two runs.

Yankees -1.5 (+105) at time of publishing. Playable to -110.
