Washington at New York

The New York Yankees have lost eight straight games, and their playoff chances are all but gone. They had a five-game stretch within the losing streak where they scored seven total runs. The offense showed signs in their last game vs. Boston as they scored five runs. The Yankees have played 19 of their last 22 games vs a team that is better than .500. I think the streak is on their mind, and having a day off before this game is something this team needed. The Yankees are 16-10 at home vs a losing team. Washington is coming off a 7-2 homestand but allowed 29 runs in their last four games. Home favorites that allowed more than five runs in their last game and are playing to a line of -135 or more on a day of rest are 229-96 with a 12.1% ROI. Make the play on the New York Yankees.
