New York Yankees at Seattle Mariners Preview
The New York Yankees and Seattle Mariners are set to clash in a pivotal matchup at T-Mobile Park, with both teams having much at stake as the regular season nears its conclusion. The Yankees, boasting an impressive 87-63 record, are looking to solidify their position at the top of the AL East, while the Mariners, at 77-73, are fighting to keep their postseason hopes alive. This series opener promises to be a thrilling encounter, with both teams bringing their best to the field.
Seattle's recent resurgence has been fueled by a combination of improved offensive output and stellar pitching. Under the guidance of new manager Dan Wilson and hitting coach Edgar Martinez, the Mariners have seen a notable uptick in their batting statistics, with star outfielder Julio Rodriguez leading the charge. Rodriguez's recent form has been instrumental, as he has been slashing .269/.310/.538 over the past week, providing the offensive spark Seattle desperately needs.
On the mound, the Mariners have been formidable, leading the league in team ERA, WHIP, and batting average allowed. Bryan Woo, who will start for Seattle, has been a standout performer in the second half of the season. His recent near-perfect game against formidable opponents underscores his ability to handle pressure situations, making him a key player in this crucial series.
The Yankees, on the other hand, come into this game with a strong offensive lineup, highlighted by Aaron Judge, who recently joined an elite group of players with multiple 53+ home run seasons. Judge's power at the plate, combined with the contributions of players like Giancarlo Stanton and Juan Soto, makes the Yankees a formidable opponent. Luis Gil, the Yankees' starting pitcher, has been one of their best this season, despite some recent struggles with consistency following an injury. His ability to strike out batters and control the game will be crucial for New York's success.
As both teams vie for victory, the Mariners will be looking to leverage their home advantage, where they have been particularly strong this season. With the stakes high and the postseason within reach, this matchup is set to be a captivating contest, with both teams eager to make a statement.
New York Yankees at Seattle Mariners Pick: Total Runs Over
As the New York Yankees and Seattle Mariners prepare to face off, the betting landscape suggests a high-scoring affair, making the 'Total Runs Over' a compelling pick. Historically, matchups between these two teams in the 2024 season have leaned towards higher scores, with three out of their four encounters surpassing the set total. This trend is bolstered by the offensive prowess both teams have displayed, particularly the Yankees, who have consistently demonstrated their ability to generate runs through the power of Aaron Judge and the supporting cast of Giancarlo Stanton and Juan Soto. Judge's recent form, highlighted by his 53rd home run, underscores the Yankees' potential to put up significant numbers on the scoreboard.
On the Mariners' side, the recent offensive resurgence under the guidance of Edgar Martinez has been noteworthy. The team's batting average and OPS have seen improvements, with Julio Rodriguez playing a pivotal role in this turnaround. His recent performance, slashing .269/.310/.538, indicates that the Mariners are capable of matching the Yankees' offensive output, especially at home where they have been particularly strong.
While both teams boast strong pitching staffs, the Mariners' Bryan Woo and the Yankees' Luis Gil have shown vulnerabilities that could be exploited. Woo, despite his impressive second-half performances, will face a formidable Yankees lineup that has the potential to capitalize on any mistakes. Similarly, Gil's recent struggles with consistency post-injury could provide the Mariners with opportunities to score.
Given the offensive capabilities of both teams and the historical trend of high-scoring games in their matchups, the 'Total Runs Over' is a logical choice. With both teams eager to secure a win in this crucial series, expect an exciting and potentially high-scoring contest at T-Mobile Park.
New York Yankees at Seattle Mariners Top Player Prop Picks
Luis Gil Over 6.5 Strikeouts -113 (FanDuel)
Luis Gil has been a standout performer for the Yankees this season, boasting a 3.18 ERA and 156 strikeouts in 26 starts. Despite some recent struggles with consistency following an injury, Gil has shown the ability to strike out batters effectively, as evidenced by his performance in the most recent matchup against the Mariners, where he delivered a complete game with 12 strikeouts. Given the Mariners' offensive struggles earlier in the season and their reliance on a few key players like Julio Rodriguez, Gil's strikeout potential remains high. The Mariners' recent offensive improvements under Edgar Martinez's guidance may pose a challenge, but Gil's track record suggests he can rise to the occasion, making the over on strikeouts a compelling pick.
Julio Rodriguez Over 1.5 Hits Runs RBIs -115 (BetMGM)
Julio Rodriguez has been instrumental in the Mariners' recent offensive resurgence, slashing .269/.310/.538 over the past week. His ability to contribute across multiple facets of the game—hitting, scoring runs, and driving in RBIs—makes him a key player for Seattle as they fight to keep their postseason hopes alive. With the Mariners playing at home, where they have been particularly strong, Rodriguez is poised to continue his hot streak. The Yankees' pitching staff, while formidable, has shown vulnerabilities, and Rodriguez's recent form suggests he can capitalize on any opportunities presented, making the over on his combined hits, runs, and RBIs a strong choice.
Aaron Judge Over 0.5 Runs Scored -115 (BetMGM)
Aaron Judge has been a powerhouse for the Yankees, recently joining an elite group of players with multiple 53+ home run seasons. His ability to get on base and score runs is a critical component of the Yankees' offensive strategy. In the most recent game against the Mariners, Judge's performance was pivotal, contributing to the Yankees' 5-0 victory. With the Yankees' lineup featuring other strong hitters like Giancarlo Stanton and Juan Soto, Judge is likely to have ample opportunities to cross the plate. Given his recent form and the Yankees' offensive prowess, betting on Judge to score at least one run is a logical and promising proposition.
