Our San Diego Padres vs New York Yankees Prediction
Key Stats: These are two of the best pitching teams in baseball. The Yankees have commanded a 3.22 ERA this season. The Padres have flexed a sub-4.00 ERA at 3.94 this year.
Yankees starter Gerrit Cole has registered a 2.97 ERA over his last five starts. Padres’ starter Michael King has produced even better numbers with a 1.71 ERA over his last five outings.
The Matchup: The starting pitchers will set the tone for this match. As mentioned, Cole and King are two of the finest hurlers in baseball over the past few years. Each player can single-handedly power his team to victory. That’s how good these pitchers are, and we will get a chance to see them duke it out on Sunday.
The Yankees might have a slim edge because they are hitting the ball a lot better than the Padres this past week. Other than that, a low-scoring ballgame is on the horizon.
Fearless Forecast: Yankees 2, Padres 0
Our betting prediction for the New York Yankees vs. the San Diego Padres: Under 7.0 Runs
