The New York Yankees come into this one looking to build on their beatdown win over the Mariners from Tuesday’s series opener.

Seattle Mariners Recap

Seattle Mariners vs NY Yankees Prediction

I’m on the over here. I was burned by the under in Tuesday’s opener thanks to the Yankees opening a can on Bryan Woo but I think that offense carries over here. Miller may pitch better at home, but he’s been torched by the Yankees in his career starts against them, while the Mariners should have some success against Cortes given Cortes’ issues on the road this season. I think this is going to be a high-scoring series and it continues here. Give me the over in this one.
