Pitching Edge – San Diego Padres (-105)
Meanwhile, the Yankees will counter with Chad Green (0-1, 7.20 ERA). The 25-year-old Green got the call-up from Triple-A for Sunday’s start, and is quite a star in the International League with his 1.54 ERA in 14 starts. However, the product out of Louisville’s last lengthy outing in the big leagues was a rough one, having surrendered four earned runs and eight hits through five innings in the loss to the Arizona Diamondbacks on May 16.
Batting Edge – New York Yankees (-105)
Outside of first baseman Will Myers (two home runs, six runs, seven RBIs in the last four games), the Padres don’t have a reliable hitter than they can rely on in the clutch, which has been one of their many glaring problems throughout this season.
As for the Yankees, they’ve gotten an unexpected yet welcome production from shortstop Didi Gregorious, who currently has a six-game hitting streak going for a total of 10 hits to go with a couple of long balls, five runs and five runs batted-in during that span. Outfielder Carlos Beltran’s hamstring injury looks to have healed as well, and could also pinch hit for the team on short notice for some much-needed runs. The 18-year veteran Beltran is hitting a solid .299 this season and has 19 home runs and 53 RBIs under his belt already, which is amazing considering that he’s supposed to be regarded as an over-the-hill player by now.
Writer’s Prediction: The Yankees (-105) avoid the series sweep with the narrow 5-4 victory.
