The problem is that the players in Oakland just aren't as good as the players for the Yanks. The Yankees have lucked out a couple of times, but matched up vs the A's will be more than a good matchup as this is a pitchers ballpark.



Manaea has not done a very good job of keeping the ball down so far this year, oftentimes he's missing his pitches into the dirt. Starlin Castro will have a field day hitting off him if he is off pitch like he has been.
