Matchup: New York Yankees (24-17) at Seattle Mariners (22-18)
Game Time: 9:40 PM EST Location: T-Mobile Park, Seattle, WA
Starting Pitchers: Max Fried (LHP) vs. Bryan Woo (RHP)
Moneyline Odds: Yankees -148 / Mariners +124
Analysis:
This is the second game of a three-game series, and the Yankees took the first game. The pitching matchup is intriguing, pitting the Yankees’ veteran lefty Max Fried against the Mariners’ young right-hander Bryan Woo.
- Yankees: The Yankees are having a strong season, fueled by Aaron Judge who “is not messing around in 2025”. They’ve been a consistent offensive force and have shown the ability to win close games. Max Fried provides a solid, veteran presence on the mound.
- Mariners: The Mariners are also competitive, currently in the mix in the AL West. Bryan Woo has shown flashes of brilliance, and the Mariners offense is capable of putting up runs, particularly at home. They’ll be looking to bounce back after losing the first game of the series. The Mariners have shown an ability to come back recently and a walk-off hit could be in the works.
Key Factors:
- Pitching Matchup: Fried’s experience and ability to control the game could be a difference-maker. Woo’s raw talent and potential for strikeouts could keep the Yankees off balance.
- Offensive Production: Which team can capitalize on scoring opportunities? The Yankees’ offense is generally considered more potent, but the Mariners can be dangerous in their home ballpark.
- Bullpen Performance: Late-game situations could be crucial. Which bullpen is better equipped to handle the pressure?
Prediction:
This game has the potential to be a close, tightly contested affair. While Bryan Woo has upside, Max Fried’s experience and consistency give the Yankees a slight edge. The Yankees’ offense is also slightly more reliable.
Pick: Yankees -148
