Seattle Mariners Betting Preview
The Seattle Mariners enter Wednesday’s contest with a 56–64 overall record (3rd in the American League West) and a 23–35 mark on the road. The Mariners offense has been below average to this point in the season. Through 119 games played in 2026, Seattle has compiled 463 runs scored (30th in MLB), 142 doubles (30th in MLB), 138 home runs and an abysmal .228 team batting average which ranks 30th in Major League Baseball.The Mariners arrive at tomorrow night’s game in below average form. Seattle has lost six of the team’s last seven games played this season, including an 11-0 shutout loss to the Detroit Tigers five days ago.
Seattle will turn to right hander Bryce Miller in this game. In 13 starts made this season, Miller has compiled a 4–6 win loss record, a 3.08 ERA, a 0.95 WHIP, and 79 strikeouts, while allowing 60 hits and 15 walks in 79 innings pitched. Bryce Miller arrives at this subpar form, allowing four earned runs or more in two of his last three starts made in 2026. Miller will look to stabilize his recent poor performances on the mound in tomorrow’s matchup with the New York Yankees.
The Seattle Mariners lineup features outfielder Randy Arozarena and first baseman Josh Naylor. Randy Arozarena has tallied a .276 batting average, 15 home runs, 45 walks, 50 RBIs and an .816 OPS. Josh Naylor has compiled a .263 batting average, 10 home runs, 17 doubles, 42 RBIs and a .700 OPS.

Seattle Mariners vs. New York Yankees Prediction
In my view, the way to go in this matchup is the total rather than a side. Why? Seattle starting pitcher Bryce Miller arrives at this subpar form, allowing four earned runs or more in two of his last three starts made in 2026. Similarly, New York hurler Will Warren has had issues on the mound recently, allowing six earned runs to the Philadelphia Phillies two starts ago. I should also note that the Yankees have assembled one of the better offenses in Major League Baseball this season. With that said, I expect a high scoring affair in this contest. I am backing over 7.5 runs in this game.Hans Geevers's Pick: Over 7.5
