Mariners vs Yankees Prediction

The current betting odds have the Yankees listed as a slight favorite in this game according to Draftkings Sportsbook. The Yankees have been playing a lot better lately as they are trying to climb the standings and pass the Orioles and the Rays who are both ahead of them in the AL East. Their offense hasn't been great this season but their pitching has been really good and that is going to be a bonus here since the Mariners haven't had a good offense this season either. The Yankees also have German starting in this game and even though he was terrible in his last start, giving up 7 runs in that one, he is still a really reliable starter for them and will be looking to bounce back with a much better performance at home here. The Mariners also have Woo on the mound here and he hasn't been good this season. He was a lot better in his last start but he is still just a rookie pitcher who is very inexperienced with very few starts in the MLB and an experienced team like the Yankees lineup will be able to get after him at home here. The Yankees are going to use this series to pick themselves up and give themselves a boost going forward as they try to go on a big run now. The best way to place a bet here is on the Yankees to win this game.

He’s not going to change how he plays.” - Scott Servais after his team’s loss against the Yankees in their game on Tuesday.


“I don’t remember it because, obviously, there was yelling, some back and forth at the dugouts. I was like, `Why are you yelling at us?' It felt like they started yelling at us right away.” - Aaron Boone after his team’s win against the Mariners in their game on Tuesday.
