Yankees at Mariners picks and predictions
Prediction
Yankees 4, Mariners 3
Money line
The YANKEES (-120) look to snap their 5-game skid with Taillon on the hill. The good news is that the Yankees are 3-1 across Taillon’s past 4 starts, as he has a win and 3 no-decisions during the span. The concern here is that Taillon has allowed 10 HR across his past 7 starts, including 2 against the Mariners Tuesday.

Run line/Against the spread
The MARINERS +1.5 (-170) have the 10-game winner Gilbert on the bump, and he has pitched well at home. I don’t quite like Seattle straight up, as I think New York is going to end its losing skid, but the M’s are a strong play to keep it close.
Over/Under
The UNDER 7.5 (-102) is the lean in this series opener.
While the Over has hit at a 20-7-1 clip across the past 28 games overall for the Yankees, the Under is 4-1 in their last 5 on the road.
The Over is 4-1-2 in the past 7 overall for the Mariners, too, although the Under is 3-0-2 in their last 5 in a series opener and 20-7 in the past 27 at home vs. RHP.
