He has a 1-0 record with an ERA of 4.38 and 10 strikeouts in 2 appearances against the Yankees in his career.
BETTING TRENDS
NY Yankees are 5-1 SU in their last 6 games when playing on the road against Seattle.
The total has gone OVER in 5 of NY Yankees' last 6 games against an opponent in the American League.
The total has gone OVER in 14 of Seattle's last 19 games against an opponent in the American League East Division division.
The total has gone OVER in 5 of Seattle's last 7 games played on a Monday when at home.
Prediction
The Yankees have struggled lately and have lost 5 games in a row. For this game they'll send Jameson Taillon to the mound who got rocked by the Mariners in his last start. The Mariners haven't been that great lately but beat the Yanks earlier this season but Logan Gilbert who's starting this game got pounded by the Yankees with 6 runs in 5 innings. Both starters should be able to pitch better this time but the total has been set too low. However I gotta go with the Yankees as they should bounce back and avoid a 6 straight loss.
