No matter the price – bettors will flock to lay a wager on the Yankees, who are looking to avoid getting swept at home.<\/p>\n
Seattle Mariners at New York Yankees<\/strong><\/p>\n Seattle picked up a 7-0 shutout victory over the best team in baseball, thanks to a brilliant performance by starting pitcher Felix Hernandez.\u00a0 \u201cHe\u2019s as good as we\u2019ve seen all year,\u201d Yankees manager Joe Girardi commented.\u00a0 The Mariners finished June with a 14-13 record, their first winning month of the season.\u00a0 Seattle has now won three straight games in New York for the first time since compiling a six-game winning streak from 2001-03.\u00a0 Bettors will be interested to know, tonight was just the second time all season that starting pitchers Cliff Lee and Hernandez won back-to-back games in the rotation.<\/p>\n Mariners starting pitcher Ryan Rowland-Smith is 1-7 with a 6.18 ERA in 16 appearances (13 starts) this season (-680).\u00a0 The left-hander dropped his last contest on the road against Milwaukee, allowing five runs and five hits over 5.1 innings in a 8-3 loss.\u00a0 He will be seeking his first victory outside the state of Washington, posting an 0-5 mark and 8.10 ERA in eight road starts.\u00a0 He has allowed an incredible 60 hits and issued 11 walks in 36.2 innings.\u00a0 Rowland-Smith hasn\u2019t picked up a decision against the Yankees in six games (two starts), surrendering 10 earned runs and walking 10 in 17 innings (5.29 ERA).<\/p>\n New York will be ready to turn the page after being shutout in the final game of June, which shouldn\u2019t be much of a problem.\u00a0 The Yankees have had 17 consecutive winning July\u2019s, including a 18-9 record in 2009.\u00a0 It\u2019s also beneficial to have a starting pitcher on the mound this afternoon that is undefeated in his last 14 tries at the stadium, posing a 10-0 mark and 2.10 ERA.\u00a0 The Bronx Bombers have gone 12-2 over that span with C.C. Sabathia on the hill.\u00a0 The lines maker has placed quite a tariff on the Yankees this afternoon, as the team is 6-1 as a home favorite of -250 to -330 on the season (+280).<\/p>\n Yankees starting pitcher C.C. Sabathia is 9-3 with a 3.49 ERA in 16 starts this season (-30), including a five-game winning streak heading into this contest.\u00a0 This current streak marks the sixth time in his career he has won five consecutive decisions and just the third time he has won five straight starts.\u00a0 The left-hander is looking to record at least 10 wins prior to the All-Star break for just the second time in his career.\u00a0 Sabathia stands at a perfect 5-0 with a 2.57 ERA in seven home starts, allowing just 32 hits over 49 innings.\u00a0 Opposing batters are hitting just .184 against him at Yankee Stadium.\u00a0 He will be making his 15th career start against the Mariners, producing a 6-4 record and 2.97 ERA.<\/p>\n Bettors will certainly lineup to play the Yankees regardless of the price, as they\u2019ve lost the first two games of this series.\u00a0 New York is an impressive 18-9 in day games this season (+320), but still misses the mark against lefties (-560).\u00a0 It\u2019s hard to imagine the Mariners picking up a sweep against the best team in baseball, as they carry a 13-26 overall mark on the road (-1,150).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" No matter the price – bettors will flock to lay a wager on the Yankees, who are looking to avoid getting swept at home.
