Yankees vs. Athletics Game Preview

Pineda will be facing Sturkamp in today's match-up against the Oakland Athletics. New York is looking to revive there offense at the plate while the Athletics continue to struggle, stranding 84 runs since the beginning of the season. But New York isn't any better, only going 4-for-57 with runners in scoring position.

If anything both of these teams need to get out of this slump. New York just got out of there slump. Hopefully Pineda and the Yankees can capitalize in these next three games. They need to improve or this season isn't looking very good. I think Pineda will get the job done today's game. Both teams have something to prove.

Game time: 7:05 p.m. at Yankee Stadium.
