At this point in time, New York appears to be one of the top World Series contenders in baseball. The Nationals aren't that caliber of team yet, but playing in these types of games are valuable experiences for the young players.
Taking the mound tonight for Washington will be 35-year-old veteran starter Patrick Corbin. He has had a rough season so far in 2024, starting in 26 games and compiling a 3-12 record, a 5.73 ERA, a 1.54 WHIP, a 2.3 K/BB ratio, and 141.1 innings pitched.
On the other side of the field, the Yankees will give the starting nod to 33-year-old veteran star Gerrit Cole. He has made 11 starts this season, going 5-2 with a 3.72 ERA, a 1.33 WHIP, a 3.0 K/BB ratio, and 58.0 innings pitched.
Simply from a starting pitching perspective, New York should win this game. However, the Nationals will look to pull off the upset and prove once again that they're a team on the rise.
