Padres vs Yankees Prediction
Cole and the low price are worth a look, as it’s Cole with a low price. It’s not a position you get often. However, King is having a great season, and he’s coming off an August where he allowed 29 hits and 9 earned runs in 36.2 innings. At home, King has a 2.94 ERA and a .213 allowed batting average. In a battle of two playoff contenders and two strong pitchers, I’ll give the edge to the Padres at home.
