Washington Nationals vs New York Yankees Prediction

Cavalli has been sharp through 22.1 innings, allowing just seven runs. The problem is, the Nationals are looking more and more like a team that’s ready for the season to end. The Yankees have turned things around these last couple of weeks and while Fried has struggled in August, he still has a 3.14 ERA and 1.12 WHIP on the season. In 70 home innings, Fried has a 2.44 ERA and .209 allowed batting average. I have to roll with the Yankees, and I’ll lay the RL to shave down the price.
