Yankees vs. Mariners Prediction
I’m on the Yankees in this one. Seattle still is fighting for a playoff spot, and normally I’d be out to fade a team the day after they clinch a playoff spot, but the Yankees are only a game ahead of the Guardians for the top spot in the AL and they have yet to clinch the division either so there’s still plenty of work to do for New York. Schmidt’s also looked solid since returning from the IL while Gilbert’s had plenty of issues in his career against the Yankees. Give me New York in this one.
