With just seven days remaining until Opening Day, the New York Yankees are still working hard to prepare. They will face off against the Washington Nationals, who won the World Series in 2019 over the Houston Astros. Gerrit Cole could be bringing over a few bad memories, as he will start the 60-game condensed season as the No. 1 pitcher for the Bombers.
The game is expected to take place in Washington on Thursday night next week, with Cole facing off against Max Scherzer. However, the city of Washington has not fully given them permission for the MLB to initiate the start of the regular season.
