New York Yankees (German) vs. Seattle Mariners (Kikuchi)
The so-called lowly Mariners are 4 and 2 in their last six games, much better than the Yankees at 3 and 7. The Yanks are struggling, with little consistent offense other than Judge, their starters failing, and their vaunted bullpen in tatters. They beat up on Sheffield in the early going, but will meet a very different pitcher today in Kikuchi.
Kikuchi is an allstar selection for good reason; he is 6-3 with an ERA of 3.18, winning against the Jays, White Sox and Rays last three, while giving up only three earned runs total in the process.
His opponent is Domingo German (4-5, 4.50). Like most of New York’s starters, he has struggled in his last three starts, pitching to a tune of 0-1-2, with only three or four innings pitched per game.
The wager
The Mariners can score some runs. Their offense in terms of runs per game is at par with the Yankees’ for the season, and better recently. Has New York finished free falling? I don’t think so. Take Seattle to WIN.
