The New York Yankees and San Diego Padres meet Saturday in MLB action at Yankee Stadium. Here’s a Padres vs Yankees Prediction. This article will include a Padres vs Yankees Pick.
The New York Yankees are 80-61 this year and play the Rockies and Mets next. The New York Yankees are batting .233 on the season, with a .311 OBP and a .408 slugging percentage. The New York Yankees’ pitching staff has a 3.23 ERA and a 1.17 WHIP. Ben Rice leads the New York Yankees with 130 hits and 88 RBI, while Cody Bellinger and Jazz Chisholm Jr. have combined for 216 hits and 115 RBI.
Carlos Rodon gets the ball for the New York Yankees, and he is 4-3 with a 3.20 ERA and 63 strikeouts this season. Rodon is 2-2 with a 2.27 ERA and 27 strikeouts in his career against the San Diego Padres.
The San Diego Padres are 74-67 on the year and play the Nationals and Giants next. The San Diego Padres are batting .237 on the season, have a .314 OBP, and have a .386 slugging percentage.

The Yankees and Rodon are worth a look at a low price, but I’m going to side with the Padres. Ray was brought to San Diego for spots like this to clinch a playoff spot and to make a deep run. Ray has allowed 20 hits and 10 runs through 26.1 innings since coming from San Francisco. We’re getting a pick em price; I’m going to side with the Padres at home.
