The Yankees start a crucial four-game set in Oakland tonight. The team has taken a grasp on the first Wild Card spot, leading the Red Sox by three games and the A’s by 4.5 games. The A’s have lost four in a row, with a few of those being in heartbreaking fashion, but that means nothing for the next four days given the Yankees struggles in Oakland.
The last time the Yankees visited RingCentral Coliseum was August 2019, as they did not meet last season due to COVID. In that series, the Yankees got swept. In fact, they are 1-9 in Oakland since 2017.
