Should I stay or should I go? Another tough spot for Mayor de Blasio this weekend. At the same time his presidential campaign heats up, the heat index in New York will be in the 105-110 degree range. With power outages expected, de Blasio surely wants to be anywhere but here while ordering a full investigation into Con Ed’s failures.

Speaking of disgraces. A national disgrace earlier in the season, the Nats have worked their way back into a wild-card spot. They are in Atlanta this weekend looking to narrow the gap on the first-place Braves. Good matchup Friday. Nats’ Patrick Corbin has allowed only four runs over his past 20 innings, his strikeout/walk ratio reads 28/2 during the span. Atlanta’s Mike Soroka, outstanding all year, is 10-1 and his ERA of 2.24 is ranked second best in the NL. Play 10 units on the Nats.

Yankees took two from Tampa Bay on Thursday. We bet the Rays’ Charlie Morton in the nightcap. With the game tied 1-1, he gave way in the sixth, allowing four runs in the inning in the 5-1 loss. Latest setback sets us back to -117 lonniequinns.
