Cam Schlittler has to be licking his chops as he and the Yankees (7-2) prepare to take the field tonight against Aaron Civale and the Athletics (3-6) in the opener of a three-game series in the Bronx.<\/p>\n
Trying to hit a Schlittler fastball with a wood bat already was going to be a daunting task (15Ks in 11.2 IP) but mix in real feel temperatures in the mid-30s and pain enters the equation. Oh, and the Athletics have also struck out 99 times in just 303 ABs as a team in 9 games this season. Before going further with this preview, know that DraftKings<\/a> has posted Cam Schlittler\u2019s strikeout prop at 6.5. Do the math and proceed accordingly.<\/p>\n The Yankees enter this series opener leading the AL East thanks in large part to consistently dominant starting pitching headlined by Schlittler. The right-hander has yet to give up a run in 11.2 innings. Mix in an offense led by Aaron Judge (3 HRs), Ben Rice (.370 w\/ 11 RBIs) and Giancarlo Stanton (.394 average) and you have yourself at least one of the best teams in baseball.<\/p>\n Oakland arrives in the Big Apple cellar-dwelling in the AL West. They have spent the bulk of the first few weeks of the season on the road where they have secured just a single win. As mentioned, the A\u2019s have had trouble putting the ball in play striking out one out of every three trips to the plate. Shea Langeliers has struck out 12 times (ranks amazingly only T3 on the team) but is tied for the team lead with 11 hits, five of which have been home runs.<\/p>\n Lets dive into tonight\u2019s matchup and the opener of this three-game series and find a sweat or two.<\/p>\n We\u2019ve got all the info and analysis you need to know ahead of the game, including the latest info on the how to catch first pitch, odds, recent team performance, player stats, and of course, our predictions, picks & best bets for the game from our modeling tools and staff of experts.<\/p>\n Follow Rotoworld Player News<\/a> for the latest fantasy and betting player news and analysis all season long.<\/p>\n Game Details and How to Watch: A\u2019s vs. YankeesDate: Tuesday, April 7, 2026Time: 7:05PM ESTSite: Yankee StadiumCity: New York, NYNetwork\/Streaming: MLB.TV, NBC Sports California, YES<\/p>\n Never miss a second of the action and stay up-to-date with all the latest team stats and player news.
