The New York Yankees kick off a three-game set with the Seattle Mariners on Friday, something that should make the New York faithful excited. The Bronx Bombers have gone 5-1 SU and against the runline in their past six against the M’s while holding Seattle to one or no runs in four of those outings.
- The total has gone UNDER in 10 of the Mariners’ last 14 games against the Yankees.
- The Yankees are 9-2 SU in their last 11 games at home with CC Sabathia as the starting pitcher.
- The total has gone UNDER in eight of the Mariners’ last 11 games on the East Coast.
After a string of mediocre performances, CC Sabathia – the Yankees starter in this one – recorded his first quality start in nearly a month his last time out. Sabathia allowed just two earned runs in 6.0 innings last Saturday. The big lefty faced the Mariners not that long ago and allowed just one run in 5.0 innings at Safeco Field.
The Mariners will send out Ariel Miranda to the bump in hopes that he can fix his recent control issues. The southpaw has surrendered 13 earned runs and nine walks in his past 14.2 innings. A road contest in New York could exacerbate the issue, as Miranda has a 6.19 ERA on the road this year.
