Matchup: Seattle Mariners (Bryan Woo RHP) at New York Yankees (Marcus Stroman RHP)
Location: Yankee Stadium, Bronx, NY
Moneyline Odds: Mariners -115, Yankees -106
Analysis:
This game pits two right-handed pitchers against each other in what should be a tightly contested matchup. Bryan Woo takes the mound for the Mariners and Marcus Stroman for the Yankees. Both teams are looking to secure a win, making this an important game in their respective seasons.
Key Players to Watch:
- Mariners: Keep an eye on Julio Rodríguez. While his 2025 stats show an average exit velocity of 91 with a Hard Hit % of 45, the Mariners need him to be a sparkplug in the lineup.
- Yankees: Aaron Judge is the obvious choice here. He’s having a monster year with an Avg Exit Velocity of 95.3, Hard Hit % of 56.5, wOBA of .491, and a Barrel % of 26.2. If the Mariners can’t contain Judge, they will be in trouble. Also, watch Anthony Volpe, the young shortstop. Jasson Dominguez is another player to keep an eye on
Pitching Matchup:
- Bryan Woo (RHP, Mariners): Woo will need to command his pitches and keep the Yankees hitters off balance. His performance will be crucial for the Mariners’ chances of winning on the road.
- Marcus Stroman (RHP, Yankees): Stroman brings veteran experience to the mound for the Yankees. His ability to induce ground balls and limit hard contact will be key to shutting down the Mariners’ offense.
Prediction:
This game is shaping up to be a close one. Both teams have strong offenses and reliable starting pitching. Given the home-field advantage and Aaron Judge’s dominant performance this season, the Yankees have a slight edge. However, the Mariners are a dangerous team, and Bryan Woo is capable of a strong outing.
Final Pick: Yankees -106
