New York Yankees at Seattle Mariners Prediction

Heading into Wednesday’s American League showdown between New York and Seattle, a pair of outstanding left-handed pitchers take the mound in Robbie Ray and Nestor Cortes. However, throughout the season, the Yankees have dominated at the place vs southpaws, posting the top wOBA in the league. I like the Yankees to pull out the win.
