The New York Yankees and the San Diego Padres will play the middle game of their 3-game set this afternoon at the Stadium. The Padres took game 1 yesterday, 5-1, but the Yankees should bounce back today. Luis Severino will be making his second start of the season and when he is healthy, which he is, his stuff is lethal. Sevi had his season debut against the Reds last Sunday and delivered, allowing 1 run on 4 hits, and the Bombers went on to a 4-1 victory. He is also 8-2 in his career in interleague play with a 1.79 ERA. The Friars will give the nod to Michael Wacha and he has been sharp, with a record of 5-1 and a 3.58 ERA. The Yankees have lost 3 straight and it won’t be a walk in Central Park with Wacha on the hill, but they are at home. Yankee Stadium will be electric and they have Luis Severino on the bump.
