Yankees vs. Padres Best MLB Prop Bets
Yankees Best MLB Prop Bet
- Cody Bellinger OVER 1.5 Hits + Runs + RBIs (-112)
Cody Bellinger is swinging a red-hot bat. He’s gone 12 for 25 in his last six games, including 10 for 20 in his last four. He’s scored two runs in each of his last two games as well, going 3 for 5 in each contest.
Bellinger is 1 for 5 with a home run against Buehler in his career and should be able to stay hot tonight.
Yankees vs. Padres Prediction and Pick
I broke down this pick in SI Betting’s daily MLB best bets column, Walk-Off Wagers:
The Yankees have won two in a row and four of their last five games, and Max Fried has been great for them as of late. The southpaw has allowed three runs in his last four starts.
Walker Buehler has been solid for San Diego as well, but the Padres are fading as of late. They’ve lost two in a row, five of six, and six of their last eight games.
I’ll back the Yankees as short favorites in San Diego tonight.
Pick: Yankees -119
