Sacramento A’s podcast Tony Harvey:

#1 How much of an advantage do the Yankees gain from facing former Yankee pitcher Luis Severino, given their familiarity with his pitching style?

#2 Which star player is more likely to have the biggest offensive impact: Aaron Judge for New York or Brent Rooker for the Athletics?

#3 Can the Athletics reverse their recent home struggles in Sacramento against one of baseball’s strongest teams, or will the Yankees continue their winning momentum?

#4 What role will the hitter-friendly conditions at Sutter Health Park play in the outcome, and which lineup is better built to take advantage of the ballpark?

#5 The Athletics took a series from the Yankees earlier in April. Will this matchup be a chance for New York to even the score, or can the Athletics prove their earlier success was no fluke?
