New York has scored more than five runs just once in its last ten games, averaging 3.2 runs a night over that stretch, and Cam Schlittler taking the mound this afternoon doesn't do Washington's offense any favors either. Schlittler is running a 2.01 ERA and a 0.93 WHIP this season, numbers that rank among the best in the game, posted against lineups considerably more dangerous than the one he's staring down today. Washington's bats have had a nice run lately, but Miles Mikolas is a shaky bet to keep pace with what Schlittler brings to the mound, an arm the Nationals have bounced between the rotation and long relief for much of the year because the results as a starter haven't been there. Rain is in the forecast for Washington today, with a real shot that it slows both lineups down before the pitching matchup even factors in. Between New York's cold bats and Schlittler shutting the door on the other side, I like the total to stay UNDER the posted number. Take the UNDER today.

Washington at New York
7:05 PM Eastern
Washington is 8-8 over the last 16 games, winning as underdogs of +140, +135, +140, +165, +125, +145, +115, and +165. The Nationals decided not to trade their best pitcher, MacKenzie Gore, but to build around him, and Gore gets the nod today against Luis Gil. The Nats' lefty has 170 strikeouts in 142+ innings this year, along with a 3.59 ERA on the road. New York has lost three of five, including defeats as favorites of -210 and -150. Batters are hitting .271 off starter Gil (4.26 ERA), and the bullpen is 23rd in ERA (4.36). Play Washington at a nice price.
