New York Yankees vs. Seattle Mariners Prediction
I’m on the Yankees here. I know Seattle is at home but they’re coming off of Sunday night baseball and the Yankees had the extra day of rest on Sunday. Weathers is a guy the Yankees went out to get so I’m sure they think highly of him, and frankly I trust the Yankees to come up with the bigger hits when the time comes. Give me New York.
