Yankees vs. Athletics Top Story Lines
The Yankees came into the season as World Series hopefuls, having added one of the scariest hitters in the majors to a team that took the eventual-champion Houston Astros to seven games in last year’s American League Championship Series.
Home-field advantage was paramount for this series between two of the teams that benefited most from playing in their own parks. The Athletics were 50-31 at pitcher-friendly Oakland Coliseum, while the Yankees were even better, going 53-28 at hitter-friendly Yankee Stadium.
