One MLB Bet To Consider On Thursday August 24th 2023
Yankees vs. Nationals 1:05pm
Yankees Moneyline (-160)
We are fading Nationals starting pitcher Patrick Corbin in this matchup. Corbin holds a 4.92 ERA and 1.46 WHIP in 67.2 innings pitched on the road this season. He’s allowing an average of over 10 hits per 9 innings, and Corbin’s strikeout rate is at a career low mark. The Yankees look to be going with a bullpen game led by Michael King. It’s worth noting that the Yankees bullpen has struggled a bit over the last month. However, their bullpen still has the best ERA in the MLB (3.20) over the full season sample size. The Nationals bullpen is one of the worst in the MLB. The Yankees offense has been disappointing this season, but they have actually hit left handed pitching well above the league average. New York’s offense ranks top 5 in the MLB in OPS versus left handed pitching (.784). Patrick Corbin is a lefty, so this looks to be a good spot for the Yankees offense to thrive. Our wager is one unit on the Yankees moneyline.
