Pick of the Day - June 15th

New York Yankees (AWAY) (HUGHES) (+115) OVER Washington Nationals (HOME) (GONZALEZ)

After starting the season with a 6.67 ERA in his first 6 starts, Phil Hughes has allowed 2 ER or fewer in 5 of his 6 last starts. Gio Gonzalez is having a great first season with the Nationals. However, dating back to his days with Oakland, he has struggled against New York. He has a 1-4 record with a 7.27 ERA in five career matchups against the Yankees. Both teams come in winners of 6 straight, but I expect Hughes to have a better performance tonight than Gonzalez. Take the Yankees.
