Nationals vs Yankees Predictions and Picks
"New York comes into this contest looking for their fourth win in a row, and they have outscored their opponents by a total of 22-8 in those three wins. The Yankees are 40-28 at home this season, while the Nationals are 27-40 on the road .... I think Washington has some value here, as Cavalli has been solid and Fried has had a few poor showings recently. Take the Nationals here." — David Racey, Sports Chat Place
"The Yankees are slotted into the wild card and hold a four-game lead over the Kansas City Royals for the final spot. But, they still have a chance at winning the American League East, and they need these games against weaker opponents to make ground. Cade Cavalli .... has looked like a good young contributor for the Nationals. But this is a tough road start against the Yankees. They have lost five of their last seven on the road. Take New York by two." — Jason Raffoul, Statsalt
"The Yankees should win this one comfortably, as they try to keep pace with Boston and Seattle in the American League playoff chase. The Yankees have feasted on the lesser teams lately, winning eight of nine games against teams with a losing record heading into last night's Game Two. The league's most potent home run-hitting team has shown off its muscles in these contests, and that should continue on Wednesday against Cavalli .... Take the Yankees with the run line." — Mark Ruelle, Winners and Whiners
