The heavily favored New York Yankees host the road underdog Athletics today. First pitch is set for 1:35 pm, ET, from Yankee Stadium. Out of market? MLB.TV has you covered, which, of course, is part of each Fubo TV package.
The teams split the first two games of the series. The Yankees are trying to win their fourth consecutive series to open the season. And while there is plenty of betting interest on the ML, runline, etc., our focus is strictly on finding the best value in the player prop market.
With that in mind, we asked our internal A.I. tools to dive into the metrics and matchups and find the best props to bet for A’s at Yankees today.

Yankees vs Athletics Player Prop Picks & Analysis
Our favorite player props target New York’s elite bats and strikeout upside on the mound. Here are the five best prop bets on the board, backed by current metrics:
Aaron Judge Over 1.5 Total Bases (-148 at Caesars): With Judge’s early-season power on full display (9 runs, 3 homers), he is primed to exploit a pitching staff that gives up a league-worst 1.71 WHIP. Extra-base hits should come at a premium. In a limited sample size, Judge has struggled vs. A’s starter Jeffrey Springs:

Ryan Weathers Over 6.5 Strikeouts (-121 at DraftKings): Given his massive 12.37 K/9 rate to start the season, Weathers is generating whiffs at an elite level. Oakland’s lineup struggles to make consistent contact, making this a premium target.
Cody Bellinger over 0.5 Hits (-189 at DraftKings): Bellinger is effectively putting the ball in play (9 hits and a .263 average). Against Oakland’s vulnerable middle relief corps, he will see highly favorable counts.
Giancarlo Stanton Over 0.5 Runs (+120 at BetMGM): Hitting in the heart of the order, Stanton is in a prime spot to cross the plate. Against an Athletics pitching staff surrendering 5.36 runs per game, he should see plenty of run-scoring opportunities.
Paul Goldschmidt Over 1.5 Total Bases (+113 at Caesars): Offering fantastic plus-money value (+113), Goldschmidt’s ability to drive the ball makes him a strong candidate for extra bases against a depleted Oakland bullpen.
