The New York Yankees are sizable -190 favorites in Washington this afternoon.
With Cam Schlittler taking the bump, my Yankees vs. Nationals predictions and MLB picks believe New York is worth backing to win going away.
Who will win Yankees vs Nationals today: Yankees -1.5 (-120)
Cam Schlittler has been borderline untouchable away from Yankee Stadium. He's allowed just eight runs through 11 road starts, and last conceded more than once on April 12 against the Rays.
He struck out 31% of opposing batters along the way while allowing hard contact just 27.7% of the time.
The Washington Nationals are in elite form offensively, but Schlittler is one of the few capable of slowing them down. Miles Mikolas ranks in the ninth percentile in pitcher run value and should bring the most out of these New York Yankees bats.
Play this to -125.
COVERS INTEL: Cam Schlittler has been a top-tier starter, ranking in the 97th percentile in pitcher run value.
Yankees vs Nationals Over/Under pick: Under 9 (-115)
Schlittler is a high K%, low BB% pitcher who also limits power extremely well. He's allowed just 0.80 homers per nine innings, which is even more impressive when factoring in that a healthy chunk of his games are played at Yankee Stadium.
His ability to keep the ball in the park makes it very difficult for opposing offenses because he’s not someone who gets hit around inning after inning.
While the Yankees could get to Mikolas, the continued absences of Aaron Judge and Giancarlo Stanton take real juice out of the lineup.
Bet to -120.
- ML/RL bets: 56-45, +1.25 units
- Over/Under bets: 54-43-4, +5.69 units
Yankees vs Nationals weather
Hot temperatures in the mid-80s are expected, although with the wind blowing in. Small boost to the bats.
