The Nats have had a very successful first half. They have a chance to close it out in style against the New York Yankees. The Yankees have not been playing their best baseball lately, but did manage to split a series against the Rays. However, they still have a powerful lineup that will be tough to contain.
Blake Butera put together an interesting lineup against a left handed starter. Luis Garcia Jr. is in there, but he is hitting 8th. Dylan Crews is all the way up in the 3 spot and Jacob Young is hitting 5th. Andres Chaparro will serve as the DH and Daylen Lile will get the day off. Carson Palmquist will open for Zack Littell.
With the lefty opener, old friend Amed Rosario will be in the leadoff spot. Aaron Judge is hurt, which makes Ben Rice the main man for the Yanks. Rice is coming off a homer-filled series against the Rays. The Yankees have a lefty heavy lineup despite Palmquist opening. Southpaw Ryan Weathers will get the start in this one.
