San Diego Padres vs NY Yankees Prediction
The San Diego Padres and the cheap price at home with Dylan Cease on the mound seems like a reasonable bet. However, the Padres continue to underachieve, and I have little trust in them against good teams. The Padres continue to wet themselves in big moments, and they’ve been shutout in 3 of their last 5 games. The Padres are a talented team that’s not serious. We have a large enough sample size with this team dating back to last year. The Yankees continue to roll, and Marcus Stroman is getting more comfortable in pinstripes. At this price, the Yankees have to be the pick on Saturday night against the Padres.
