ESNY Game Day: Nationals at Yankees – Saturday Lineups, Odds, Pitchers, Broadcast Info

Two aces on a Saturday afternoon? Yes please!

[sc name=”tabbamfordbanner” ]

For the second time in three days, New York Yankees fans will be treated to a big-time pitching matchup. Corey Kluber was named the AL Pitcher of the Week last week; Max Scherzer is a first-ballot Hall of Famer. Both have thrown relatively well this season, including one start that saw Scherzer depart the stadium and head directly to the hospital for the birth of a child.

The Yankees will look to get back in the win column after crumbling with three late errors in Friday’s 11-4 loss. But Scherzer presents a challenge on the other side, so this one should be a fun one.
