Yankees Favored to Win as They Take on Padres in Exciting Matchup

The New York Yankees have been performing well at home, winning six of their last eight games, while the San Diego Padres have split their last eight road games. New York appears to have the advantage in this matchup due to their strong hitting against right-handed pitchers and the recent struggles of the Padres pitcher, Pivetta. Pivetta has given up a total of five runs in his last two games against the Yankees and is expected to face difficulties in slowing down their offense.

On the other hand, San Diego may struggle offensively against the Yankees, as they have not been hitting as well. Rodon, the Yankees pitcher, has been performing consistently, only allowing three runs in his last three starts. With New York also possessing one of the top bullpens in the league, they are likely to limit San Diego's offensive production. It is advisable to place a bet on New York to win.
