NY Yankees vs Seattle Mariners Prediction

I’m on the over here. I just don’t trust either of these starters right now, as Stroman’s been prone to the start where he gives up three or four runs a night. On the other side, Logan Gilbert’s been unusually rocky as well this season, and I just think it’s going to be a tough go for him as well. All in all, I think this has high-scoring written all over it. Give me the over.
