The Oakland Athletics will go for the series sweep over the New York Yankees tonight at the Coliseum but the Yanks’ Masahiro Tanaka might have something to say about that. Tanaka is expected to get the nod for New York. The Yankees are 11-1 in his last 12 starts and he is 2-0 in his last 3 turns, with a 3.20 ERA, and a WHIP of only 0.97. Tanner Roark is expected to take the hill for Oakland. Since being acquired from Cincinnati, he has pitched well but overall in 2019, his numbers are mediocre at best. He is 7-8, with a 4.01 ERA, and a 1.39 WHIP. The Bombers should be able to get to Roark tonight and if Tanaka can keep the ball in the park the Yanks head to Chavez Ravine with a victory.
