New York Yankees
Seattle Mariners
(-125/+105)-110
As the Seattle Mariners prepare to face the New York Yankees on September 17, 2024, they do so in a critical matchup that holds significance for both teams. The Yankees, boasting an impressive record of 87-63 and currently sitting in a strong position for a playoff berth, will look to leverage their potent offense against the Mariners, who have had a middling season at 77-73.
In their last outing, the Mariners achieved a commanding shutout victory over the Texas Rangers, winning 7-0, while the Yankees triumphed over the Boston Red Sox 5-2. This series opener sets the stage for a clash between two very different offenses; the Yankees rank 3rd in MLB with a powerful lineup that has belted the most home runs in the league, while the Mariners struggle with an offense that ranks 23rd overall.
Seattle will send Bryan Woo to the mound, a right-handed pitcher who is having a solid year with an impressive 2.38 ERA. Woo’s recent performance includes a strong showing in his last start, where he pitched 7 innings while allowing just 2 earned runs. However, he faces a challenge against a Yankees lineup that excels in power hitting.
Luis Gil, also a right-handed pitcher, will take the ball for New York. Gil has a respectable 3.18 ERA and a high strikeout rate, which could pose problems for the Mariners, who have the highest strikeout rate in MLB. His ability to miss bats could negate the Mariners’ patience at the plate, giving the Yankees an edge.
With both teams ranked closely in projected outcomes—Yankees at 52% and Mariners at 48%—the projections suggest a tightly contested game. However, with the Yankees’ offensive firepower and Woo’s ability to keep runs off the board, they may be favored to take the victory in this matchup.
