He has already faced twice the Yankees this season and has allowed 4 runs across 13.2 innings pitched recording a win and a no decision.

BETTING TRENDS

NY Yankees are 6-1 SU in their last 7 games when playing on the road against Seattle.

The total has gone OVER in 6 of NY Yankees' last 7 games against an opponent in the American League.

The total has gone OVER in 15 of Seattle's last 20 games against an opponent in the American League East Division division.

The total has gone OVER in 4 of Seattle's last 5 games played on a Tuesday.

Prediction

The Yankees bounced back and scored 9 runs to end their 5 game losing streak. For this game they'll send Gerrit Cole to the mound who got rocked by the Mariners with 6 runs the last time they met. The Mariners will try to tied this series by sending Luis Castillo to the mound who's having a great season and has good numbers against the Yankees in his career. This should be a great pitching duel so expect a close game and I think the under is the best play.

PICK: Under 7 (-110)
