-35.5 units last year in mlb, injuries and variance hurt late in the year.
I like the Yankees, risking 2.62 units to win 2.
Cole and Scherzer both have been elite for a while but Cole is much younger and that should be in advantage early in the year with a shortened preseason.
Nats improved the bullpen but didn’t replace Rendon and teams now will focus and scout Soto much more. Soto was also away from the team for 2 weeks before returning a week before this game.
The Yankees starting lineup is much stronger than the Nats with Rendon gone and Stanton healthy for the Yankees. The backend of the Yankees lineups is far better, Nats are relying on Eaton, Turner, and Soto, Yankees have a backend of the lineup that could be a the top of the lineup for many teams. Scherzer is 35, Yankees should have a pitching and lineup advantage.
The Yankees will barely have to travel and there won’t be any fans so I don’t see a home field advantage.
