New York Yankees vs Seattle Mariners Prediction & Picks - MLB

Prediction published on 9/18/24, 11:57 AM  by Carlos Zabala | Modified on 9/18/24 at 12:30 PM in MLB Picks

After winning comfortably by a score of 11-2, the Yankees will be favored again against the Mariners in Game 2. Cortes for the Yankees and Miller for the Mariners are scheduled for Game 2.

If the Yankees win on Wednesday, they would mathematically secure their participation in the playoffs, even if it were as a wild card. In Tuesday's game, Dominican Soto managed to hit his 40th HR of the season while Judge drove in 4 runs. Soto and Judge are the third duo in franchise history where each one hits 40 HRs or more.

Robles made a foolish mistake in the bottom of the first inning in Tuesday's game when with the bases loaded and two outs he tried confidently to steal home, but was thrown out in an at-bat that could have changed things.

Rodriguez went 4-for-5 while Raley and Polanco hit solo HRs.

They will then face a former Mariner, Cortes, who against them has a 2-0 record with a 3.18 ERA in his career.

Miller, on the other hand, the Mariners pitcher, has poor numbers against the Yankees against whom he has a 0-2 record with a 10.97 ERA. However, he is coming off a good last outing where he struck out 7 and only allowed 1 ER.
