This is an 8* on OVER

The Yankees beat the Mariners last night by a score of 12-1. That made us happy as we were on the road team. The Yankees were very desperate for a win as they are 4th in the American League East and had previously dropped seven of nine games. Starting the series with such an emphatic win is something they hope leads to a strong final week before the All Star Break. For the Mariners, blowout losses are not uncommon. They have a -53 run differential on the year. We point that out because their record is 45-41. The 34-52 Rangers have a -51 run differential. So Seattle is lucky to even be in Wild Card contention. Tonight’s game may not end up being so lopsided, but we anticipate it being just as high scoring. In his last four starts, the Yankees’ Domingo German has allowed 18 runs in 15.3 innings. That’s more runs than Seattle’s Yusei Kikuchi has allowed in his last nine starts combined. But Kikuchi is facing a team that just put 12 runs on the board last night. The Yankees are 5-1 Over their last six games. Seattle is 6-1 Over after a loss. Play on OVER
