San Diego Padres Betting Preview
The Padres have found success in their last five games. They are coming off a 4-0 shutout and a series-sweep over the Pittsburgh Pirates. They have averaged 5.40 runs and allowed 2.6 over their last five games, which bodes well for their chances at success here if these stats continue to work.
Nick Pivetta (5-1) will take the mound to start, where he currently boasts an ERA at 1.78 and a WHIP at 0.82. If their defense continues to offer this type of action each game, they should have no issues slowing down the Yankees and give themselves a great chance at success.
San Diego has a batting average at .260 while they have allowed their opponents to get .211. Again, their pitching has been great to start the season. Their offense is appealing too, with Fernando Tatis Jr. leading with eight home runs, a .328 batting average, and 18 RBIs.
The Padres have an on base percentage at .329, while their slugging percentage is at .393. Their ERA as a whole is at 2.75, which is much more appealing than what the Yankees are offering.
New York Yankees Betting Preview
The Yankees have gone 2-3 over their last five games and need to break out of their two-game losing streak. Their recent defeat was a 7-5 outing against the Tampa Bay Lightning.
Aaron Judge has been prominent in their offense this season, once again. He currently leads with 11 home runs, a .423 batting average, and has 33 RBIs in total. He will need to have a big day in order to get the offense moving along.
New York has a batting average at .262 and is allowing their opponents to get .205 in return. This is an appealing difference between the two, but still more work could be done. Their ERA as a whole, for example, comes in at 3.62.
The Yankees are getting on base at a good rate at .346 and have a slugging percentage at .407. As you can see, their offense typically does better in matchups where the game could be close.
