Pitching Edge – San Diego Padres (-105)
Andrew Cashner (3-5, 4.75 ERA) is placed to make his come back to
the mound after dealing with a strained neck he suffered in June. Even though
former ace has seen his heydays go by already, he's still had relative success
against New York's batters. Only Starlin Castro and Didi Gregorious each have
faced the 29-year-old in over 10 at-bats, and yet both have managed to combine
for two RBIs against the righty.
Meanwhile, the Yankees will counter with Chad Green (0-1, 7.20
ERA). The 25-year-old Green got the call-up from Triple-A for Sunday's start,
and is fairly a celebrity in the International League along with his 1.54 ERA in
14 starts. However, the item out of Louisville's last lengthy outing in the big
leagues was a difficult one, having surrendered four earned runs and eight hits
through five innings in losing to the Arizona Diamondbacks on May
16.
Batting Edge – New York Yankees (-105)
Outside of first baseman Will Myers (two home runs, six runs, seven
RBIs in the last four games), the Padres don’t have a reliable hitter than they
can rely on in the clutch, which has been one of their many glaring problems
throughout this season.
As for the Yankees, they’ve gotten an unexpected yet welcome
production from shortstop Didi Gregorious, who currently has a six-game hitting
streak going for a total of 10 hits to go with a couple of long balls, five runs
and five runs batted-in during that span. Outfielder Carlos Beltran’s hamstring
injury looks to have healed as well, and could also pinch hit for the team on
short notice for some much-needed runs. The 18-year veteran Beltran is hitting a
solid .299 this season and has 19 home runs and 53 RBIs under his belt already,
which is amazing considering that he’s supposed to be regarded as an
over-the-hill player by now.
