The read

I’m laying the hook with the Yankees because Brad Lord’s 77 strikeouts in 96.1 innings don’t finish enough hitters, and that plays right into Aaron Judge’s 40-homer thunder and Ben Rice’s 20-homer lift. Cam Schlittler’s 3.22 ERA with a .235 average against and 38 strikeouts in 36.1 frames fits this matchup, since Washington leans on light contact with only CJ Abrams at 17 homers while Brady House is fanning plenty with 53 strikeouts in 186 at-bats. Sure, Schlittler’s 1.32 WHIP means a few baserunners, but the Nats lack the punch to turn traffic into crooked numbers, while Judge’s 89 walks signal the Yankees will control the big pitches late. I’m riding the run line—got the guts to ride with me?
