The New York Yankees were able to scratch out a win yesterday against arguably the best pitcher on the planet, Washington’s Max Scherzer. Today it will be easier for the Bombers to find the sweet spot when they face Joe Ross and wrap up their 3-game set with the Nationals at the Stadium. Ross is 2-2 with a 4.39 ERA, a 1.24 WHIP, and he will oppose Domingo Germán, who is better than his 2-2 record reflects. The Yankees have won 6 of their last 8, are 4-1 in their last 5 following a win, and are a scary 80-32 in their last 112 games as a home favorite.
