It’s another exciting day for baseball fans, as the San Diego Padres (+114) and the New York Yankees (-128) are set to square off at 1:35 PM EDT today. The run total for this game is set at 7.5, with the Yankees favored by -1.5 on the run line at odds of +155 and the Padres at +1.5 at odds of -182. Will the Yankees be able to cover the run line this time around, or will the Padres turn the tables and come out on top?
The Pitching Matchup
One of the most important factors to consider in any baseball game is the pitching matchup, and this game is no exception. Right now, the San Diego Padres are set to start Yu Darvish, while the New York Yankees will be sending Gerrit Cole to the mound. With two of the league’s top pitchers facing off against one another, this is sure to be an exciting game full of great pitching and big hits.
Yesterday’s Game
The Yankees and Padres played each other just yesterday, with the Yankees coming out on top by a score of 3-2. In that game, the Yankees were -1.5, but they didn’t cover the run line. The total for that game was set at 8.5 and stayed under by 3.5 runs. Will today’s game follow a similar pattern, or will we see a different outcome?
Win Trends
To get a better understanding of how these two teams have been playing lately, let’s take a look at their win trends. In their last 10 games, the Padres have won 4 times, while the Yankees have won 6 of their last 10 games. However, when two great teams face off, past performances don’t always predict future outcomes.
Totals Trends
Another important factor to consider when making your MLB bets is the totals trend. Over their last 10 games, the Padres have gone over in 3 games and stayed under in 7, while the Yankees have gone over in 3 games and stayed under in 7 as well. With both teams showing inconsistent totals trends, it’s difficult to predict whether this game will go over or under the 7.5 run total.
Making Our Pick
After careful consideration, we have decided to follow hot Shark player Samuel for this game and take the New York Yankees (-128). With their star pitcher Gerrit Cole on the mound and a strong offensive lineup, we think the Yankees have what it takes to come out on top. Of course, anything can happen in baseball, which is why we always recommend staying up to date on the latest MLB news and trends.
