New York at Washington

The New York Yankees have hit their way to the lead in the AL East. Last night that came down with a thud. Patrick Corbin and the Washington bullpen held them to two runs. Corbin has the worst ERA in MLB baseball this season. The theme has been the same all season: start a left-handed pitcher against the Yankees, and good things happen. The Yankees have the best record in MLB against right-handed pitching, where they are 61-34 on the season, but have struggled to a 17-21 mark against lefties. This is strictly a fade play against the Yankees, who should not be a 2-1 favorite vs. left-handed pitching. The Nationals will start their third straight lefthander vs. the Yankees tonight. I'm taking Washington.
