Mariners will take on the Yankees. The Mariners season perplexing for me. I don't know what in
the world has gone wrong with them and another deadline where they just make one ad and that's
it. But they'll face the Yankees this week. The Yankees got that boost calling up George
Lombard Jr. They certainly feel great about him. This is the Weathers-Warren-Freed trio and,
you know, naturally the Mariners are very good at home and Brian Wu is very good at home,
but once they go on the road it's like they turn into pumpkins here. So the one thing that I would
say that Seattle has in their in their corner going into this Yankee series is the Yankees
just don't hit anymore, Tom. You know, like they just don't. It's just not the hitting team
we thought there would be at the beginning of the season. Low scoring games. That's what I'm
seeing. Yankees one of the best pitching staffs overall in baseball. The Mariners one of the
worst offenses. The Mariners also have a great pitching staff. This does not seem like we're
going to see a series that have multiple games and 8-6 or even 5-4. We're going to be looking
at games that are 3-1, 4-2. A lot of low scoring and the Yankees are going to be favored in all
of them. Maybe the Weathers-Wu game will be closer to a coin flip same with the Freed-Gilbert one,
but the Yankees will probably still be at least in some capacity in all of them. I think it's a
good chance to take the Mariners and it's a good chance to take a lot of unders. I don't see this
high scoring series at all. Totally agree. Totally agree with you there.
