🏆 Who will win Yankees vs. Padres?
San Diego’s recent slide and struggles with runners in scoring position combined with New York’s gaudy 32-18 record against left-handed starting pitchers tips the scale in the Yankees’ favor.
Score prediction: Padres 4, Yankees 2
💰 Yankees vs. Padres prediction & best bet
Under 8 (-118)
San Diego’s offense entered this series in a funk, which is a big reason the Padres had lost seven of nine games. Over that 2-7 stretch, San Diego batted .154 with runners in scoring position while averaging 3.3 runs per game, belting five home runs, and collectively logging a .610 OPS. Those offensive woes should only be exacerbated by Carlos Rodon, who has held current Padres hitters to a .221/.311/.294 slash line in 68 combined at-bats.
On the other side, Robbie Ray has a whopping 34.2% strikeout rate in 76 combined at-bats against current Yankees hitters.
