Yankees vs Mariners Prediction
I’m backing the over here. I think the Yankees can lead through the first five here, but the Yankees also have the worst bullpen ERA so far in the month of July. Not only that, but I think when all is said and done here, this game’s going to end up hitting double-digits, whether it’s a close game or a one-sided affair. Give me the over here.
