Not a big fan of Oakland's Paul Blackburn (0-1, 4.09) in the Sunday night ESPN game. Perhaps consider an Aaron Judge hitting prop as he has multiple hits in a career-high five straight games and owns a season-high 20-game on-base streak. Yanks pitcher Jordan Montgomery has allowed three earned or fewer in his past 10 outings and one run or fewer in four of his past five with a 1.78 ERA in that span.

Jordan Montgomery has been very good since the trade deadline and for the Yankees this season. Paul Blackburn has made just two starts this season. He shouldn’t be able to make it deep into the game meaning the vulnerable Athletics bullpen will be pitching a lot. The Yankees had won 13 straight games before yesterday and it was because they ran into Frankie Montas who was dealing. Take the Yankees tonight.

The Yankees are 13-1 in their last 14 games, including a 1-4 mark when laying 1.5 runs. New York LHP Jordan Montgomery has posted a 2.30 ERA and 1.12 WHIP in the second half of the season. Oakland's .723 OPS against left-handers is 20th in the major leagues, while the Yankees have recorded the eighth-best OPS over the last 30 days. Take New York -1.5 runs at +105.
