Yankees vs. Mariners Prediction

I’m on the under here. I know it sounds odd considering the pop in the Yankees’ bats, and the current run of form the Mariners are in as well, but both of these starters Gil and Woo have had a lot of success against the other side and this feels like a playoff-type game with both teams having a lot to play for in terms of the playoff race. I think this could be a 4-3 kind of game so give me the under here.
