The Yankees added one of the best pitchers in baseball in Gerrit Cole and NY's offensive lineup is healthy. They have the best lineup in baseball and their bullpen is tough.
Max Scherzer is always tough, but the Nats lost one of the best hitters they had in Anthony Rendon, who will be impossible to replace. I dont see either starter going deep in their 1st outing so we'll back the better offense and relief pitchers with NY.
I like the Yanks here with the short price on Thursday night on the moneyline.
