The current betting odds have the Yankees listed as a favorite in this game according to Draftkings Sportsbook. The Yankees have looked really good in their games this season with their 67-52 record overall which has them right near the top of the AL East. They have looked good in their own ballpark too with their 30-26 home record this season. Meanwhile, the Mariners haven't looked good in their games this season with their 56-64 record overall which has them right in the middle of the AL West. They have been a terrible road team too with their 23-35 road record this year. The Mariners have looked terrible lately, now 3-7 in their last 10 games and they have one of the worst offenses in MLB. The Yankees have a much stronger offense this season and they have been getting hot lately, now 6-4 in their last 10 games. The Yankees are going with Fried in this one and he has looked great this season. He is 4-3 with a 2.88 ERA and he has been getting better in every start since coming back from an injury. He is coming off another great start giving up no runs which has been a common theme for him this year and the team has been having a lot of success with him too, winning 3 of their last 4 games with him starting. The Mariners are going with Gilbert in this one and he has looked good this season too. He is 8-7 with a 3.42 ERA and he has been a bright spot for the Mariners lately. He only gave up 2 earned runs in his last start and the team has won 3 of their last 4 games with him starting, but the bullpen has been letting them down in some recent games. The Yankees are going to take advantage of this pitching matchup at home with the much stronger offense to lean on here. The best way to place a bet here is on the Yankees to win this game.

“A tough one again tonight. As we have talked about it before, we need to find that consistency on offense.” - Dan Wilson after his team’s loss against the Yankees in their game on Tuesday.

“Been a struggle -- several weeks now where it’s been difficult for us scoring runs, an area we’ve got to be better, and we know that. The good thing is that we’ve had to play in a lot of really close games day in and day out, and [we’ve] done a good job against a lot of good teams winning those games.” - Aaron Boone after his team’s win against the Mariners in their game on Tuesday.
