Predictions

San Diego sends Joe Musgrove (3-4, 6.14 ERA) to the mound to avoid the sweep at home. New York is countering by sending Clarke Schmidt (5-2, 2.59 ERA) to face the Padres. Musgrove has been very up and down all season but did just come back from a stay on the injured list. The biggest challenge for him will be navigating the Yankees' potent lineup. He will need to try to settle into a groove early on and not let up. However, New York has shown to be the better team so far, The Yankees take this game and the sweep on the road.

Yankees 5, Padres 4

Schmidt was a talking point around the offseason trade that sent Juan Soto to the Yankees. San Diego will now get an up close and personal look at him in this contest.

Star infielder Luis Arráez only has one hit in eight at-bats in this series so far. San Diego needs him to get going if they want to avoid being swept.
