Washington @ New York picks

I’ll simply trust Yankees pitcher Max Fried to deliver, despite his struggles, because of the strong ground ball peripherals against a team that hits them at an above-average rate. I expect the Bombers to have strong success against Nationals starter Cade Cavalli. His below-average hard-hit rate and heavy fastball usage are key things the Yankees’ hot offense can exploit.
