This is an 8* on the YANKEES

The Yankees bounced back from Friday’s ugly 11-4 loss to win 4-3 in extras Saturday. Yesterday’s game went 11 innings with both teams scoring in the 10th and then Gleyber Torres provided his second huge RBI single to win the game in the 11th. (Torres also tied the game in the bottom of the ninth). We like the Yankees to win Sunday’s series finale. If they can overcome 14 strikeouts from Max Scherzer, which they did yesterday, then surely they can overcome Joe Ross. Ross’ season has mostly been good for the Nationals, but he did have one disastrous start where he allowed 10 runs and four homers. The Yankees have won three straight Domingo German starts with him providing a 2.50 ERA and 0.94 WHIP. Going into yesterday’s game, visiting teams were hitting below .200 here at Yankee Stadium. Washington is not off to a great start this year. They are last in the NL East. The Yankees have overcome their own slow start to win six of eight and 11 of their last 16 games. A very good home team to begin with, New York is on a 42-14 run when hosting teams with losing records. Play on NEW YORK
