The current betting odds have the Yankees listed as an underdog in this game according to Draftkings Sportsbook. The Yankees haven't been good lately with a lot of losses under their belt over the last few days but they are going to be looking to get back on track at home here after getting swept in a series by their division rival Red Sox. The Yankees need a bounce back win to give them some momentum and no better place than at home where they have been a better team all year. The Mariners are going to have Castillo starting in this game and he has been a lot better in his starts lately but he still gave up 2 runs in his last start and the Yankees have had a better offense than the Mariners have had all season. The Mariners have one of the worst offenses in the league so even if Castillo pitches a great game here, the Mariners are going to struggle with that offense and the Yankees also have one of the best bullpens in the MLB too. The Yankees are not going to give up a lot of runs in this game and they will find ways to put the runs up on Castillo and the bullpen after him. The best way to place a bet here is on the Yankees to win this game.

“Julio is a fantastic player and he’s just scratching the surface. He’s got a chance to be just a dynamic superstar in our game. And you know, when you’re in games like today, when we’re coming off a tough loss last night, you kind of need your best players to step up and get a big hit. He got one and Jarred got one. It was good for those young guys.” - Scott Servais after his team’s win against the White Sox in their game on Sunday.

“That's the story line. We're going to get beat over the head with that. The reality is: That team we're rolling out there is capable of doing damage offensively and even more capable, obviously, when Judge, you take the best player in the world out, that, to me, is just an excuse right now.” - Aaron Boone after his team’s loss against the Red Sox in their game on Sunday.
