- Fernando Tatis Jr. is projected to record over 1.5 bases. He is hitting .371 against RHP this season
- Aaron Judge has -110 odds to record over 2.5 hits, runs, and RBIs
NEW YORK – Two of the most star-studded teams in the MLB face off for the second time on Tuesday night as the New York Yankees will host the San Diego Padres in the second game of the only series between these two this season.
Padres vs Yankees Game Odds
Team | Spread | Moneyline | Total |
---|---|---|---|
Padres | -1.5 (+150) | -112 | O 8.0 (-115) |
Yankees | +1.5 (-175) | -108 | U 8.0 (-105) |
Legal sports betting sites have this game listed essentially as a toss up with the Padres ever so slightly favored at -112 odds. San Diego won the first game of the series 4-3 on Monday.
Both teams had lofty expectations entering the season but have been on different trajectories so far. San Diego sits at second in the NL, just a half game behind the Dodgers while the Yankees are sixth in the AL with a 19-16 record.
Tatis Dominating RHP
Fernando Tatis Jr. has become one of the faces of baseball and for good reason. He is currently tied for the eighth best batting average and owns ninth best OPS in the MLB.
He has been especially dominant against right handed pitching. In 89 at bats against right handed pitchers, Tatis has recorded a batting average of .371 and a slugging percentage of .685 with eight home runs.
For reference, in 37 plate appearances against left handed pitching this season, Tatis is hitting just .189 with a .243 slugging percentage and has not recorded a double or home run.
Right handed pitcher Clarke Schmidt will start for the Yankees today, meaning Tatis will look to continue his torrid pace tonight in New York.
He has -115 odds to record over 1.5 bases, meaning a double, home run, or multiple hits will cash the over. Bet on Tatis to get it done.
Aaron Judge Chasing Third MVP
Aaron Judge has been nothing short of dominant, leading the MLB in batting average and OPS, as well as being tied for second in the league in home runs and RBIs.
He was held hitless in yesterday’s game against the Padres, something that has happened in just five of Judge’s 35 games this season.
He has -280 odds to record at least one hit, meaning legal MLB betting sites consider that to be a lock.
His odds to hit a home run sit at +220 and his odds to hit two home runs tonight are listed at +1300.
The best value bet is to take the over on 2.5 total hits, runs, and RBIs, which sits at -110. There’s a good chance Judge either hits a long ball or an extra base hit that knocks in a few runs, which would be enough to cash the over.
