Key Storylines
Pitching matchup
Max Fried continues to demonstrate his talent on the mound in 2025. He enters this outing with a solid 3.14 ERA over 155 innings. He threw six shutout innings in his last outing and will look to put together another strong outing here. Cade Cavalli remains an intriguing but inexperienced starter. He allowed three earned runs in his last start but has held opponents in check for the most part with a 2.82 ERA. With only four starts under his belt he will look to prove that his solid start is no fluke.
Key Players
Giancarlo Stanton is coming off of a huge game for the Yankees on Tuesday. He hit a home run and drove in all five Yankees runs in that victory for New York. Stanton’s bat will be key for the Yankees today and over the rest of the season. CJ Abrams drove in the lone run for the Nats and he will remain one of the most important offensive players on their roster.
Recent team streaks
The Yankees enter having won three straight and each of the first two games of this series. The Nationals have lost four games in a row and are struggling against teams who are in the playoff hunt over the last few days.
Best Player Props
| Player | Prop |
|---|---|
| Cade Cavalli | Under 4.5 Strikeouts |
| Giancarlo Stanton | Over 1.5 Total Bases |
| Aaron Judge | Over 0.5 Home Runs |
Betting Trends & H2H
- The Yankees lead the season series against the Nationals 2-0.
- This is the final time these teams will play during the 2025 season.
- New York has outscored Washington 15-6 over the last two days.
Nationals vs Yankees Model Projection
Score Projection: Yankees 6 – Nationals 3
Win Probability: Yankees 70%, Nationals 30%
Final Thoughts
The Yankees should have the advantage both on the mound and at the dish in this series finale from the Bronx. Max Fried should help the Yankees to get out to an early lead by neutralizing the bats of the Nats and New York should take advantage of a Washington bullpen that ranks last in bullpen ERA. I’ll lay the runline with the Yankees in this contest.
