Mariners vs Yankees Betting Pick
This game will be played at Yankee Stadium at 1:05 PM ET on Wednesday, August 3, 2022.
Why Bet The Yankees:
โ The Yankees boast the highest-scoring offense in the big leagues, tallying 5.37 runs per game. They also have the highest OPS+ (122) and the best slugging percentage (.447) in the MLB. Aaron Judge has been unstoppable all season, hitting .299/.384/.680, and the 30-year-old outfielder had 13 home runs and 1.253 OPS across 112 plate appearances in July.
โ Gerrit Cole will get the ball for the Yankees. The 31-year-old hasnโt been sharp over his last two outings, and heโs too good to post another bad start. Cole ranks in the 83rd percentile in xwOBA and the 94th percentile in strikeout percentage. His four-seam fastball holds a minus-9 run value and .190 expected batting average.

โ The Yankeesโ bullpen continues to impress in spite of injury problems. Itโs recorded a sharp 2.16 ERA and .232 BABIP in the last ten days and 33.1 innings of work. On the other side, the Marinersโ bullpen has thrown 37 frames in that span while posting a troublesome 4.86 ERA, 4.87 FIP, and 6.6 K/9.
Seattle Mariners
The Mariners suffered a 7-2 defeat at Yankee Stadium this past Monday. Tuesdayโs middle game of the series has been excluded from the analysis, and Seattle was looking to avoid its third straight loss. The Mariners were sitting at 55-49, holding the bottom wild card in the American League.
Luis Castillo will make his debut in the Mariners uniform on Wednesday. The 29-year-old righty is 4-4 with a firm 2.86 ERA, 1.07 WHIP, and 90/28 K/BB ratio in 14 starts with the Cincinnati Reds this season. Castillo has been terrific over his last five appearances, surrendering just six runs on 23 hits through 34 innings pitched.
New York Yankees
The Yankees improved to 70-34 on the season following Mondayโs victory over the Mariners. It was their fourth win in five games, and the Bombers were topping the AL East, huge 12 games ahead of their closest rivals.
Gerrit Cole went 3-1 with a 4.03 ERA in six starts in July. Over his previous two showings, Cole has allowed nine runs (eight earned) on 16 hits and a couple of walks while striking out 15 across 12 innings of work.
