In The 29 year old signed a massive $324 million dollar over 9 years in December. New York is betting the biggest contract for a pitcher in baseball history that Gerrit Cole is the man to break their 11-season championship drought. Cole is 4-3 when starting against the Nationals with an era of 3.18 and a whip of 1.08.

Washington is 2-7 straight up in their last 9 games against an opponent in the AL East and the total has gone under in 6 of Washington’s last 7 games against NY Yankees.
This should be a low-scoring affair and we’re confident in Gerrit Cole throwing at least 6 strong innings for New York. He’s been one of the best starters in baseball.
