Yankees at Mariners picks and predictions
Prediction
Mariners 5, Yankees 3
Moneyline
The MARINERS (-140) are worth a look in the middle game, as they look to avenge Monday’s ugly series-opening loss.
Cortes Jr. has been very giving for the Yankees, especially on the road, coughing up 14 runs in just 21 innings of work. The M’s should be able to jump on him early.
Run line/Against the spread
The MARINERS -1.5 (+150) are worth a look on the run line for a chance to multiply your initial wager by 1 1/2 times.
Seattle is 6-2 on the current homestand, covering the run line as a favorite at a 4-4 clip during the span. The M’s are also an impressive 37-15 in the past 52 games in Game 2 of a series, and 13-3 in the past 16 games at home against a left-handed starting pitcher, while going 5-2 in the past 7 overall vs. LHP.

Over/Under
The OVER 7.5 (-110) is the lean in Game 2.
The Over easily cashed Monday, with the Yankees doing the honors themselves. The Over is 5-0 in New York’s past 5 against AL West opponents while going 10-3 in the past 13 against teams with a winning overall record.
The Over is 5-0 in Seattle’s past 5 against AL East teams, too, while going 5-2 in the past 7 following a loss.
