Washington Nationals vs NY Yankees Prediction

Gerrit Cole is looking more and more like CY Young Gerrit Cole, as he’s allowed 3 runs in his last 23 innings. Patrick Corbin has been one of the worst pitchers in baseball over the last three years or so. This is as big of a pitching mismatch as you’ll find in MLB today. Oh, the Yankees are also the better team overall, and they’re fighting for the best record in baseball. The Yankees blowing this Game would be a massive letdown. Give me the Yankees and the RL for max betting value.
