Yankees at Padres picks and predictions
Prediction
Yankees 6, Padres 4
Moneyline
New York (-124) is the much hotter team, entering on a 4-game win streak and being 8-2 in its last 10 games. The Yankees are also undefeated in their last 3 road games. NY has won 4 consecutive matchups vs. San Diego. But the run line offers a better value so PASS unless you don’t want to fool around with the spread.
Run line/Against the spread
BET YANKEES -1.5 (+126).
The Yankees are 31-23 ATS this year and their last 15 wins have all been by 2 or more runs. They have outscored Seattle 12-1 in the 1st 2 games of this series, so if you like them to win, you should like them to win by multiple runs.
Over/Under
BET OVER 8.5 (-102).
The Over has hit in 3 of San Diego’s last 4 games and in 6 of the last 10 outings. For New York, the Over is 5-2 in its last 7 games. The Over has also hit in 2 of the last 3 Yankees-Padres meetings in San Diego.
