The New York Yankees and Seattle Mariners opened a three-game series Friday with yet another low scoring affair. That means the UNDER continues to be money when the Yanks and M’s clash, as the two teams have failed to top the total in 11 of their past 15 meetings.
Yankees starter Sonny Gray has been a welcome addition to the rotation. The 27-year old has a 3.13 ERA and three quality starts in his four outings in pinstripes. However, the Bronx Bombers haven’t exactly been helping out Gray by scoring a total of seven runs in his four starts.
Yovani Gallardo has been a steady, veteran presence in a Mariners rotation that has been beset by injuries all season long. The right-hander has allowed three or fewer runs in eight of his past nine starts. However, Gallardo has not been going very deep into games, as he has lasted less than five innings in five of the previously mentioned nine starts.
