(911) New York Yankees at (912) Seattle Mariners

4:10pm EDT - May 14/2025

THE PLAY: Seattle Mariners +1.5 (-163) W Warren (RHP), L Castillo (RHP) Must Start

Yesterday's game was a 2-1 final, Seattle winning in extra innings. Here's what I said, prior to that game: “Fried has faced the Mariners twice over his career. Both were close, low-scoring games. The final scores were 3-1 and 2-1, each in favor of Seattle. Going head-to head against Woo (1.38 ERA at home) may well result in a similar type of game this evening - note that the O/U line is only seven. While Woo struggled in a start against the Yankees last September, he was brilliant in winning both his previous starts against them. With scoring likely at a premium, having an extra +1.5 runs to work with takes on that much more significance.” Though we didn't end up needing the extra +1.5 runs, the game went pretty much as expected. Yesterday, the M's were up against a red hot Max Fried. Today, they'll face Will Warren, who has a 6.90 career ERA. Big difference. Let's go back to the well with the M's on the run-line.
