San Diego has been very good with their pitching and defense this season.
Heading into Monday, the Padres hold a 2.75 ERA, the best mark in the Majors. Michael King has yet to allow more than three runs in a start this year while holding opponents to two runs or fewer in each of his last four outings.
Entering this series, the Padres have won five in a row and are coming off the Pittsburgh Pirates road sweep. New York has not fared well against NL West foes and besides Judge the rest of the lineup doesn't scare me and Boone is a terrible manager.
NY has lost 8 of their last 11 so we are backing the SD Padres.
