Washington Nationals DFS SPIN
MacKenzie Gore allowed six runs (two earned) in four innings in a loss to the Yankees on Wednesday. Gore had a strong outing last time out against Boston before leaving with a blister issue. It’s possible that it was still an issue as Gore never seemed fully comfortable on the mound on Wednesday with a 21 percent whiff rate and 25 percent CSW. The Nationals pulled him after four innings and 80 pitches, and the lefty now has a 4.38 ERA on the season.
New York Yankees DFS SPIN
Aaron Judge had three home runs and six RBI in the Yankees’ 9-1 win over the Nationals on Wednesday. There were ten runs scored in the game, and Judge drove in six of them. His first home run was a solo shot that traveled 431 feet. His second home run was a grand slam that went 437 feet, and his final long ball was a more modest 352 foot shot that was hit just 103.4 mph. Judge is now up to 27 home runs and 54 RBI in 72 games while posting a .279/.406/.645 triple slash. It’s not going to be an MVP season, but Judge has been extraordinary when on the field this season.

Nationals vs. Yankees MLB BETTING PREDICTION
Give me the under. The Yankees’ offense came alive last night but over their last six games, their wRC+ is still just 69. That’s the second-lowest mark in baseball over the past week, with only the Rangers posting a lower wRC+ at 58. The Nationals aren’t exactly ripping the cover off the ball either, as they’ve posted a mark of 94 over their last seven games.
MLB BETTING PREDICTION: NATIONALS/YANKEES UNDER 9
