The Washington Nationals have beaten the New York Yankees in 4 of their last 5 games.
Will the Nats continue to get the better of the Yankees, who are in danger of falling off the wild card race?
Booked as +193 underdogs, the Nationals will try to play the spoilers’ role again in Monday’s series opener against the Yankees at Yankee Stadium. At 53-77, Washington has already bowed out of the National League playoff race, though this team remains a torn to clubs that are still fighting for their postseason lives. In their last five games, the Nats scored victories over the New York Mets (twice) and the Philadelphia Phillies, the top two teams in the NL East division.
Meanwhile, the Yankees avoided a four-game sweep at the hands of their archrivals, the Boston Red Sox, after cruising to a 7-2 win in Game 4. After three games of futility, the Yankees’ offense delivered the goods as Jazz Chisolm Jr. led the charge with two homers. The Yankees also got a big lift from Carlos Radon, who surrendered two earned runs over 5.2 innings.

Our Washington Nationals vs New York Yankees Prediction
I am taking the Nationals to win again over the Yankees. Again, Washington has beaten New York in 4 of their last 5 meetings and 6 of their last 10 games. Moreover, the Nationals’ offense has been more productive than the Yankees’ in the last five games. In this stretch, Washington averages 5.2 runs per game while New York could only score 3.4 runs per contest despite boasting one of the most star-studded batting lineups in baseball. The pitching numbers of these two teams over the last five games are nearly identical, with the Nats posting a 4.19 ERA and the Yankees surrendering 4.11.
Yankees’ starter Cam Schlitter might have an edge against Nats starter Brad Lord, who yielded four runs in his last start vs. the Mets. However, the Yankees’ erratic offense, compounded by a horrendous bullpen that allows a 7.70 ERA in the last five games, makes the Nats a high-risk, high-reward underdog bet at +193.
Our betting prediction for the New York Yankees vs. the Washington Nationals: the Nationals will win.
