The 25-year-old has surrendered just three hits and no walks through 11 2\/3 innings of work.<\/p>\n<p>The Athletics will counter with veteran Aaron Civale. The 30-year-old earned a win in his only start of the season, allowing two runs on four hits and striking out three in five innings against the Braves on March 31.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Yankees vs. Athletics odds, prediction<\/h2>\n<p>It\u2019s still early days, but Schlittler is working on something special for the Pinstripes. <\/p>\n<p>The native of Walpole, Mass., became the first Yankees pitcher to allow zero runs with zero walks while recording at least 15 strikeouts in a two-game span, and he did that while setting a franchise record by becoming the first hurler to open a season with consecutive starts of at least five scoreless innings and seven strikeouts.<\/p>\n<aside class=\"single__inline-module aligncenter wp-block-nypost-editor-primary-tag\">\n<\/aside>\n<p>Schlittler has a fantastic chance to add to those marks on Tuesday when he takes on the swing-happy Athletics.<\/p>\n<p>The A\u2019s have the worst strikeout rate (29.6 percent) in the MLB so far this season, and it\u2019s not like they\u2019re making up for all the Ks with impressive power figures. Mark Kotsay\u2019s club ranks 15th in ISO and slugging, and has 10 home runs through its first nine games.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s a matchup that heavily favors Schlittler, which is why the odds are so lopsided. Not only are the Yankees -245 on the moneyline, but their burgeoning ace is -700 to record at least five strikeouts. <\/p>\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n<h3

way to take advantage of Schlittler\u2019s presence, we\u2019ll focus on the Over\/Under, which is sitting at 8.5 runs.<\/p>\n<p>Schlittler should do most of the heavy lifting for us, but we may be able to count on Civale to keep The Bronx Bombers quiet enough to get us to the window with the under.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-large\"><button class=\"button
