Why The Yankees Will Cover The Spread/Win
The Yankees are led by Aaron Judge. Judge is hitting .423 this year with a .510 OBP. He has nine doubles, two triples, 11 home runs, 33 RBIs, and 32 runs scored this year. Meanwhile, Anthony Volpe has been solid. He has hit .233 with a .326 OBP this year. He has ten doubles, five home runs, 19 RBIS, four stolen bases, and 16 runs scored. Also having a solid year is Paul Goldschmidt. He is hitting .349 with a .397 OBP. Goldschmidt has eight doubles, three home runs, 17 RBIS, and 19 runs scored.
Meanwhile, Austin Wells is not hitting great, but has been productive. He has hit just .208 with a .265 OBP. Well has six doubles, a triple, six home runs, 18 RBIs, and ten runs scored. Cody Bellinger has also been solid this year. He is hitting just .200, but has four doubles, a triple, four home runs, 18 RBIs, and 15 runs scored this year.
Final Padres-Yankees Prediction & Pick
In seven starts this year, Michael King has given up one or fewer runs in four of them. Further, he has given up three runs just twice, with one of those times being on the road. In his last four starts, he has given up just three earned runs in 25.1 innings of work. The current Yankees do not have a lot of experience against King. Only Cody Bellinger and Paul Goldschmidt have faced King, going 2-4 with a double and an RBI.
Meanwhile, Clarke Schmidt is coming off his best start of the year. He has made just three starts, but has given up at least two walks in all three, while also giving up three home runs this year. Still, the current Padres have not hit well against Schmidt. They are just 4-21 with three RBIs. Martin Moldonado is 2-2 with an RBI, while Oscar Gonzalez is 1-1 with two RBIs. While Schmidt does have a good track record against the Padres, he is not pitching nearly as well as Michael King this year. This should be a tight game, but take the Padres to come away with the win.
Final Padres-Yankees Prediction & Pick: Padres ML (+100)
