Seattle Mariners vs New York Yankees. The MLB pick for this game is the Seattle Mariners. The pitching situation for the Yankees is uncertain due to the injuries to Frankie Montas, Carlos Rodon, and Nestor Cortes as well as the doubleheader on Sunday. The Bronx Bombers’ rotation lacks depth despite Cortes’ brief absence and the latter two have yet to appear this season. Vasquez or Jhony Brito may make their major league debuts on Thursday night since Domingo German is set to start the game, despite the fact that neither player did particularly well in the minors this year. The Mariners only scored five runs in that stretch, including four in one game, and this was a major contributing cause to Castillo losing three straight starts. In this game, the Mariners have a sizable lead on the bump, while the Yankees’ lineup seems quite underwhelming without Aaron Judge. It’s expected that the Seattle Mariners will triumph 6-2.
