Thursday MLB Pick

The 61-65 New York Yankees finally got a win, after losing nine straight, by clobbering the visiting 58-69 Washington Nationals, 9-1, at the Stadium. Today in a matinée in the Bronx the two teams will wrap up their 3-game set. The Yankees will probably go with a bullpen game and the starter for the first leg is expected to be Michael King. He is 3-5 with a 3.26 ERA and a 1.16 WHIP. The Nationals are expected to counter with southpaw Patrick Corbin. He is 8-11 with a 4.71 ERA, a 1.47 WHIP, but has pitched well of late and is better than his record reflects. Despite one of their worst seasons in recent memory, the Bombers are still 36-32 at home. Aaron Judge smacked three homers yesterday, with one of them being a grand slam, and when he gets going so do the Yankees.
