The New York Yankees have gone from one disappointing series to the next. First, the Yankees produced most of their 22 runs at Camden Yards in one spectacular 15-3 win, bookended by two close-shave wins for the Orioles. The Yankees had every chance to win a follow-up series with Tampa Bay, but a late Rays rally smote New York on Saturday, and the Yankees' own comeback fell short in Sunday's rubber match.
The San Diego Padres will visit Yankee Stadium for a three-game stint beginning tonight at 7:05 p.m. EST. San Diego is not leading the NL West as of today, but the 22-11 Padres are on a new five-game winning streak, keeping pace with the world champion LA Dodgers.
Will a marquee interleague clash serve to wake the AL East's leaders up? If it doesn't, New York might not be leading its division for long. The Yankees are lucky to stand as the only AL East club with a winning record this spring. There's always a chance that a division rival will warm up before the Yankees do.

New York Yankees vs San Diego Padres Predictions and Picks
The Pinstripes' bats have cooled down after a sizzling start this season. That hasn't stopped one of New York's top sluggers from taking criticism for his lacking defense. Yankees shortstop Anthony Volpe made a critical error to help Tampa Bay win its latest series with New York, and while he's on pace for an awesome RBI total, Volpe's fielding has diminished over a two-year span.
Jake Elman of Athlon Sports writes of Volpe: "The 2023 Gold Glove winner already has four errors in 33 games, including botching double plays in recent losses." The Yankees aren't quite healthy enough to tinker at shortstop in the short term.
The 5-1 Nick Pivetta's start for San Diego makes tonight's guests the better bet. New York's thin odds are a vote of confidence from oddsmakers… and they've left the excellent Pads' odds too affordable.
