San Diego at New York

The New York Yankees coughed up another loss last night. They led the Padres 3-0 into the eighth inning, but lost 4-3. Williams lost his job as a closer, allowing three runs last night just 0.2 innings pitched. The Padres have the pitching to hold down this Yankee lineup, and King has a 2.09 ERA. The former Yankee will be extra motivated pitching against his former team. The Padres are now even in the loss column with the Dodgers in the NL West at 23-11. The Padres staff has allowed just 98 total runs in their 34 games, or fewer than 3.0 per contest. The Padres are simply the better team.  While the Padres pitching has been very good, the bats have produced 31 runs in their six-game winning streak. The Padres are 4-2 to the OVER when on the road to a total of 8 to 8.5, and the Yankees are 7-4 OVER at home to a total of 8 to 8.5. Bet San Diego, and play this one OVER.
