After wrapping up a series against the Orioles yesterday, the Yankees are set to finish up a homestand this weekend with some interleague action. Starting tonight, the Padres will be in town for a three-game series in the Bronx.
After knocking off the 100+ win Mets and Dodgers in last year’s postseason and signing Xander Bogaerts, the Padres were a trendy NL West and World Series pick going into this season. They haven’t quite looked like that so far, as they come into this series below .500 and down an injured Manny Machado.
