Notes On The New York Yankees

In his last start, Jameson Taillon picked up a win against the Los Angeles Angels. He only lasted for five and one third innings where he allowed nine hits and five earned runs.Taillon has had a hard season with the Yankees. He’s only won three games and has done worse in some other things.

Gio Urshela hit a three-run homer in the bottom of the second inning on Sunday, scoring 3 runs off New York Mets pitcher Gsellman.The Yankees were up 3-0 in the first inning. Then they won 4-2, which is good because they had a three game losing streak and if the Mets had won, it would have been four games.

The Yankees beat the Mariners 6-0 in a game that was their first since June 24 not to give up more than four runs or be one-run.NThe New York Yankees offense has been lackluster this season, as the team currently ranks 23rd in the major league with an average of 4.11 runs per game entering Tuesday night’s (7/06) action.The latest slump has left the team having an issue with pitching.

However, it’s worth noting that balls are being hit very hard off their pitchers during this stretch as their BABIP is at a .408 clip over the recent 1-7 slide.

Notes On The Seattle Mariners

Justus Sheffield wrapped up an awful stretch of pitching by allowing seven hits, three walks and four earned runs in just four innings against the Toronto Blue Jays.The Yankees are going to play the Mariners in game two of this series on Monday, July 6th, 2021. Sheffield has had four starts and is 0-3. Though he’s only pitched five innings due to two rainouts, his ERA (9.35), WHIP (2.13) and strikeouts per nine innings ratio (6).

Chris Flexen and the Seattle Mariners bullpen prevented all five hits and only one earned run from scoring in their 4-1 victory over Texas on Sunday afternoon. This victory is the latest in a string of recent successes for the Mariners, who now have an impressive 45-40 record on season. Seattle has won every series since June 13, taking three straight against the Minnesota Twins, Tampa Bay Rays, and Chicago White Sox.

The Mariners will be challenged to match the Yankees, as they’ve lost seven of their last eight home games against New York. Seattle has beaten the Yankees before in New York, but can this year’s team get past them yet again?

Online Sports Betting Pick & Prediction: Seattle Mariners +140

Justus Sheffield’s recent performance leads one to believe the New York Yankees should be favored in this game.This price is too much for a team that is going on the road to play against a team that has been doing well. I think it will be better for this team to take the value on the Mariners.
