Yankees vs. Athletics expert picks and game prediction

The Yankees aren't a one-man team, even though captain Aaron Judge is driving the offense with an MLB-leading 12 home runs. The two-time MVP is getting good support from Paul Goldschmidt, Trent Grisham, Ben Rice and others.

One of the supporting cast stood up again on Friday as Jasson Dominguez smashed three home runs, including a career-first grand slam. Expect the Yankees offense to continue firing in the second game of the series.

Yankees vs. Athletics Prediction: Yankees win 8-1
