Seattle Mariners vs. New York Yankees The MLB pick for this game is the New York Yankees. Given what we saw in 2022, Kelenic and Julio Rodriguez could play more offensively for Seattle this season. The Mariners battled against Cole and German in the series’ opening game, particularly on May 29 at home. Against German, they did manage to score four runs on seven hits, three walks, and four strikeouts, but they were still routed 10-4. Although Woo’s three outings were his first above Double-A, although showing great control, pitching in the major leagues comes with some growing pains. The Yankees also had offensive issues with Aaron Judge on the IL, but they ought to play well enough against Woo to win this game and end the series. The New York Yankees are expected to triumph 7–2 in the end.
