“San Diego Padres vs New York Yankees Interleague Series: Forecast of Less Than 8.5 Runs”

Third and last game of the Interleague series between the San Diego Padres and New York Yankeesa series that is being played at Yankee Stadium, we go with the forecast of Less than 8.5 runs.

The first two games of this series have been Unders:

In the first game, the San Diego Padres prevailed 5 runs to 1, great pitching work by Joe Musgrove who worked 6.1 innings of only one earned run allowed and prescribed 6 strikeouts, the Padres bullpen finished the game without major problems .

In the second game of the series the balance leaned towards the local team, the New York Yankees, who in extra innings managed to leave the Padres on the field with a golden hit by Kiner Faleta. In this game again there was great pitching work from the starters, Luis Severino for the Yankees worked 6.2 innings with only 1 run allowed and Michael Wacha for the Padres also threw a great game of 7 innings and 2 runs allowed, in the end the game ended 3-2.

As we have seen, it has been a series of little hitting and very good pitchingthe starting pitchers for both teams have been pitching pretty well and the bullpen has responded well.

Both teams have good collective ERAs, the Yankees with 3.78 and the Padres with 3.90, both among the top 10 in the entire MLBfor this game they are going to throw two good starters, Gerrit Cole for the Yankees and Yu Darvish for the Padres.

Gerrit Cole with a 5-0 record and 2.53 ERA is the great ACE of Yankees starting pitchingcomes off a bad start in Baltimore but is a reliable pitcher and at home has better performance, ERA of 2.09 and against the Padres for life he has a 4-2 record and a 1.65 ERA in 7 gamesimpressive numbers before them.

Yu Darvish is another very good pitcher that this season he has a 3-3 record and a 3.67 ERA, 6 of his 9 starts have been of quality and against the Yankees for life he has a 3-1 record and a 1.64 ERA in 6 games.

At Yankee Stadium it may not be ideal to go with Unders, but the way the series is unfolding, the pitching schedule for this game, and the inconsistency in both teams’ offense makes the forecast for this game the best. Under 8.5 runs.
