[sc:MLB240banner ]Tonight’s game features an interesting pitching matchup between Baltimore’s Kevin Gausman and New York’s Hiroki Kuroda, but this game truly belongs to the retiring Bronx Bomber, Derek Jeter. He leads the franchise in hits (3,461), doubles (543), stolen bases (358), and many, many other categories. Jeter may be up to add to those numbers as he is 9-for-20 with one home run, six RBIs and three doubles during the final home stand of his career.
If you’re as interested in Jeter’s incredible off-field achievements as much as we were, you can also check out our list of Jeter’s Top 10 Hottest Ex-Girlfriends. It’s…a ridiculous list.
Writer’s Prediction
The Yankees play their best and send Derek Jeter on a high-note.
New York Giants vs. Washington Redskins (8:25 PM ET)
Line: New York Giants (+3.5) at Washington Redskins (-3.5); total 46.0 – view these lines
After Robert Griffin III injured his ankle in just the second game of the season, backup quarterback Kirk Cousins exploded from the bench for 677 yards and five touchdowns. Even without RG3, the ‘Skins seem to be in good hands. However, Cousins has a tough task ahead of him when he faces the Giants’ pass rush specialist, Jason Pierre-Paul who has 1.5 sacks this season and has been breaking up plays all season.
Meanwhile, the Giants’ Eli Manning went 21-for-28 for 234 yards and two touchdowns against Houston in Week 3. It was the first game in which Manning avoided throwing a pick since November 24, 2013. You can view the complete preview of this Thursday Night Football showdown here.
Writer’s Prediction
Washington’s offense has looked much better with Cousins at the helm. The Redskins win and cover at home.
