After a miserable season so far, the New York Yankees will be looking to turn their luck around in the coming few games. For this they must go through the Athletics who seem prone to trade away key players, but actually have a better record coming into the game. Interesting to watch will be how slugger Richie Sexson performs after being signed last week by the Yankees. He has posted impressive statistics against left handed pitchers. This series will be a very important series for the Yankees if they hope to end the season on a strong note.
