Yankees vs Mariners Prediction

The current betting odds have the Mariners listed as an underdog in this game. The Mariners have not been great recently as they have been very inconsistent with their wins and even split their last series at home against a bad Angels team. The Yankees have not been any better recently though as they have lost 5 straight games and their offense has been really banged up as well. They are missing some key pieces in their lineup like Stanton and Rizzo in their recent games, and their pitching has not been great either as their starters are allowing a lot of runs and their bullpen has been blowing games late. They have Cole starting here but he has been a wild card recently, pitching great in some games and allowing 5 or more runs in others. The Yankees offense also has not been as good recently and they have struggled against Castillo this season just last week and a few weeks ago when he was on the Reds. The Mariners just won their last series against the Yankees in New York as well and now they are at home for this series. The Mariners have been playing just as well as the Yankees have been recently if not better, the Yankees are also dealing with an offensive slump right now and some bad pitching recently yet they are still a favorite on the road here. The best way to place a bet here is on the Mariners to win this game.

Notable Quotes

 
"I was not in sync with my mechanics. I was missing my spots a lot. When you give that team a chance to hit those pitches, that's what's going to happen." - Frankie Montas after their loss against the Cardinals on Sunday.
 
 
"You know, the one thing about Wink is he's a talker. He likes to get everybody going and you need the days like today. I talked to him about it a little before the game today: ‘I need your energy today. Go ahead, talk smack, get your teammates fired up,' and as soon as you give him the key, he takes it and runs with it." - Scott Servais after his team’s win against the Angels on Sunday.
