New York Yankees at Washington Nationals<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
New York Yankees SP Ivan Nova has yet to lose on the road this year<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

New York has won eight games in a row, including a 5-3 extra-innings victory over Washington on Saturday afternoon.\u00a0 \u201cJust find a way. Find a way to get it done,\u201d stated Yankees manager Joe Girardi about the victory.\u00a0 The Yankees have actually won 18 of their last 22 games, which has placed the club atop the American League East standings.\u00a0 New York is 11-7 in day games, with the \u201cunder\u201d going 11-7 in those contests.<\/p>\n

Yankees starting pitcher Ivan Nova (8-2, 4.64 ERA) has won his last four outings, picking up a 3-0 road win over the Atlanta Braves last time out, tossing seven shutout innings and allowing just five hits.\u00a0 The right-hander is 5-0 with a 3.92 ERA in six road outings, issuing eight walks and striking out 28 batters in 39 frames.\u00a0 In six career interleague starts, Nova has produced a 3-1 record and 3.26 ERA, with the club winning five of those games.<\/p>\n

Washington entered this high-profile series on a six-game win streak, but many of its top players have fallen flat at the plate.\u00a0 Nationals rookie sensation Bryce Harper is hitless in seven at-bats, and has struck out five times.\u00a0 It\u2019s still important to note that the starting staff is 9-4 with a 3.02 ERA during the month of June, while the bullpen has been solid as well over that span (2.82 ERA).\u00a0 Washington is 14-9 in day games, but just 1-4 as a home underdog of +100 to +125.<\/p>\n

Nationals starting pitcher Edwin Jackson (3-3, 3.02 ERA) has won consecutive starts, including a 6-3 road win over the Toronto Blue Jays last time out, allowing two runs and four hits over eight frames.\u00a0 The right-hander is 2-1 with a 3.34 ERA in five home outings, surrendering just a single home run in 35 combined innings.\u00a0 In 16 career games (12 starts) versus the Yankees, Jackson has compiled a 2-6 record and 5.35 ERA, but is 0-5 with a 5.45 ERA in his last eight appearances.<\/p>\n

Bettors will likely back the Yankees due to their 17-4 mark in Nova\u2019s last 21 road starts, while the Nationals are 2-5 in Jackson\u2019s last seven outings.<\/p>\n
