Mariners at Yankees picks and predictions

Prediction

Yankees 3, Mariners 2

Moneyline

While both teams have been inconsistent recently, I’ll side with the YANKEES (-135) at home with Cole on the bump. The Mariners are 4-12 in the last 16 road meetings and 15-36 in the last 51 meetings overall.

Run line/Against the spread

Even though the Mariners should keep this game close with Kirby getting the nod, I’ll PASS on wagering on the run line in this game at nearly -200 odds.

Over/Under

UNDER 7 (-105) is the play in this matchup despite it being such a low total. Cole should be able to limit the Mariners at home and the Yankees have sputtered offensively with OF Aaron Judge sidelined with a toe injury.

The Under is 15-6-2 in the last 23 meetings in New York and 43-21-5 in the last 69 meetings overall.

The White Sox defeated the Yankees 3-2 on Tuesday to extend their win streak to 4 games. Chicago is now 4 1/2 games back of the Minnesota Twins for 1st place in the AL Central.

The Yankees tallied only 3 hits Tuesday as OF Aaron Judge missed a 2nd straight game and headed to the injured list due to a toe injury. RHP Randy Vasquez is expected to make his 2nd career start Wednesday as New York works around injuries to its rotation.

White Sox at Yankees picks and predictions

Prediction

Yankees 6, White Sox 4

Moneyline

Even with Judge sidelined for New York, I’ll side with the YANKEES (-140) at home on Wednesday. The White Sox are 11-20 on the road compared to the Yankees being 19-14 at home this season.

Run line/Against the spread

The YANKEES -1.5 (+145) is a solid value with how poor Lynn has pitched so far this season. Lynn has a 3.24 HR/9 and .461 wOBA to left-handed batters this season, and the Yankees will run out a few of them Wednesday.

Over/Under

OVER 8.5 (-120) is the lean in this matchup with Lynn struggling and Vasquez making just his 2nd career start. The Yankees are 5-3 to the Over in their last 8 games overall.

San Diego Padres at New York Yankees odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Saturday’s San Diego Padres at New York Yankees odds and lines, with MLB expert picks, predictions and best bets.

The San Diego Padres (24-27) will play the 2nd game of a 3-game series against the New York Yankees (30-23) on Saturday at Yankee Stadium. First pitch is scheduled for 1:05 p.m. ET (MLB Network). Let’s analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s lines around the Padres vs. Yankees odds and make our expert MLB picks and predictions for the best bets.

Season series: Padres lead 1-0

The Padres secured a 5-1 victory over the Yankees Friday in the series opener. San Diego has won 4 of its last 5 games and is 6.5 games behind the Los Angeles Dodgers for 1st place in the NL West.

Yankees RHP Randy Vasquez allowed 2 ER on 4 H with 3 BB and 6 K in 4 2/3 IP in his major league debut Friday. New York is amid a 3-game losing skid following a 5-game winning streak from May 18-23.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3011″ ]

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3012″ ]

Padres at Yankees projected starters

RHP Michael Wacha vs. RHP Luis Severino

Has given up only 1 ER across 25 IP over his last 4 turns but allowing 19 ER over 25 1/3 IP through his first 5 starts

Over/Under (O/U): 8.5 (O: -110 | U: -110)

Padres at Yankees picks and predictions

Prediction

Yankees 5, Padres 4

Moneyline

I’ll back the YANKEES (-145) at home in Saturday’s interleague matchup despite that they’ve lost 3 games in a row. New York is 17-13 at home compared to San Diego’s 12-12 record on the road this season.

Run line/Against the spread

PASS.

Unless you can get the Padres’ run line at -160 odds or better, then I’d advise avoiding the spread in this game and just focusing on the moneyline and/or total.

Play our free daily Pick’em Challenge and win! Play now!

Over/Under

OVER 8.5 (-110) is an intriguing wager despite how Wacha has been pitching recently for the Padres. Wacha owns an 8.2% barrel percentage and the Yankees boast a .199 ISO (5th best in baseball) at home against right-handed pitching.

The Padres have also shown some life with their bats in recent games and Severino is only making his 2nd start of the season.

San Diego Padres at New York Yankees odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Friday’s San Diego Padres at New York Yankees odds and lines, with MLB expert picks, predictions and best bets.

The San Diego Padres (23-27) begin a 3-game series against the New York Yankees (30-22) on Friday at Yankee Stadium. First pitch is scheduled for 7:05 p.m. ET (Apple TV+). Let’s analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s lines around the Padres vs. Yankees odds and make our expert MLB picks and predictions for the best bets.

Season series: First meeting since the Yankees took 2 of 3 games from the Padres in 2019

The Padres secured an 8-6 victory over the Washington Nationals on Thursday. San Diego is just 4-6 in its last 10 contests despite that it has won 3 of its last 4 games.

The Yankees fell to the Baltimore Orioles 3-1 Thursday, handing them a 2nd consecutive loss. New York has still gone 7-3 in its last 10 games and is in 3rd place in the AL East, trailing the Tampa Bay Rays by 7 games.

Padres at Yankees projected starters

RHP Joe Musgrove vs. RHP Randy Vasquez

Musgrove (1-2, 6.75 ERA) makes his 6th start. He has a 1.58 WHIP, 3.4 BB/9 and 9.4 K/9 through 24 IP.

Has surrendered 3-plus runs in 4 of his first 5 outings
Has given up at least 1 HR in 4 of his first 5 starts

Vasquez will make his major league debut. He has a 1-5 record with a 4.85 ERA, 1.57 WHIP, 4.9 BB/9 and 10.5 K/9 through 42 2/3 IP in 9 starts in Triple-A this season.

Over/Under (O/U): 9 (O: -120 | U: +100)

Padres at Yankees picks and predictions

Prediction

Yankees 6, Padres 5

Moneyline

Even with the Padres having the more experienced pitcher, the YANKEES (-105) are the pick in this matchup. New York is 10-1 in its last 11 interleague games against a right-handed pitcher.

Run line/Against the spread

YANKEES +1.5 (-160) is how I’d wager on the run line in this interleague showdown if you’d like to get a run of insurance and aren’t totally comfortable with the moneyline. However, I wouldn’t bet this line any steeper than -160.

Play our free daily Pick’em Challenge and win! Play now!

Over/Under

OVER 9 (-120) is an enticing wager with Musgrove sputtering to begin the season and Vasquez making his debut in the majors. The Yankees boast the 4th-best ISO (.206) against right-handed pitchers at home this season, so they should produce a decent number of runs on Musgrove.

New York has gone Over in 9 of its last 10 home games.

Rays at Yankees picks and predictions

Prediction

Rays 6, Yankees 3

Moneyline

Taking the RAYS (-135) is an easy choice on Saturday with McClanahan on the mound. Tampa Bay is a perfect 8-0 in the games that he starts this season and he’s been credited with 7 wins.

Run line/Against the spread

RAYS -1.5 (+135) has great value with McClanahan pitching. While Cortes has been solid to begin the season for the Yankees, Tampa Bay’s lineup has a league-best 157 wRC+ against left-handed hurlers thus far.

Over/Under

LEAN OVER 8 (-115).

Even with 2 talented pitchers on the bump for Saturday’s AL East tilt, we seem to get high-scoring contests between the Rays and the Yankees often. The Over is 4-0 in the last 4 meetings in New York and 6-1 in the last 7 meetings overall.

The Yankees lost 5-2 to the Rangers Friday with OF Aaron Judge inactive due to a hip injury. New York has posted a 5-5 record in its last 10 contests.

Rangers RHP Jacob deGrom left Friday’s start after 3 2/3 IP due to forearm tightness. Texas ended a 4-game losing skid with the victory.

RHP Jhony Brito vs. RHP Nathan Eovaldi

Yankees at Rangers picks and predictions

Prediction

Rangers 6, Yankees 3

Moneyline

With the Yankees expected to be without Judge again on Saturday, I’ll back the RANGERS (-150) at home. Brito has also mightily struggled in each of his last 3 starts for New York.

Run line/Against the spread

RANGERS -1.5 (+135) has solid value with Texas having the pitching advantage in this bout. Eovaldi should have more success on the mound with Judge sidelined and the Yankees are still without OF Giancarlo Stanton, as well.

Play our free daily Pick’em Challenge and win! Play now!

Over/Under

LEAN OVER 8.5 (-110).

There’s a chance the Yankees produce a few runs with Eovaldi giving up 2-plus ER in each of his first 5 starts. Brito has struggled with walks and he’s been allowing more hard contact in recent starts, which isn’t ideal against a Rangers squad that is swinging a hot bat right now.

Yankees at Rangers picks and predictions

Prediction

Yankees 3, Rangers 2

Moneyline

PASS.

While the Yankees are expected to win with Cole on the bump, taking them straight up isn’t worth the risk. I’d feel better taking New York’s money line in this contest if you can get it at -160 or better.

Run line/Against the spread

RANGERS +1.5 (-115) is how I’d play the spread as Heaney has pitched well for Texas in his recent outings. On top of that, the Yankees are slashing .200/.335/.309 against LHP this season.

Over/Under

BET UNDER 7.5 (+100).

With Cole and Heaney on the mound in this game, I don’t expect many runs to be scored in Thursday’s matchup. The Under is 5-1 in the last 6 meetings in Texas and 6-1 in the last 7 meetings overall.

Yankees at Twins picks and predictions

Prediction

Twins 4, Yankees 2

Moneyline

With Brito struggling his last start against Minnesota and Gray getting off to a hot start, I’ll take the TWINS (-160) in this contest.

Run line/Against the spread

TWINS -1.5 (+135) is the pick in this matchup with Gray taking the mound for Minnesota. It’s tough to expect 7 ER in less than 1 inning of work against Brito like last time, but the Twins should be able to do enough damage at home against the young RHP.

Over/Under

UNDER 7.5 (-105) is how I’d bet on the total with Gray not allowing many runs and New York’s recent struggles at the plate. The Yankees have scored 3 or fewer runs in 6 of their last 7 games.

The Under is also 5-0 in Gray’s last 5 home starts for the Twins.
