Yankees vs Mariners Prediction
The Yankees had a strong lead but the bullpen failed to perform. Schmidt has been spectacular this season and the Bronx Bombers have powerful hitters at the plate. With a rookie on the mound, the team's hot-hitting squad should have no problem driving in runs. However, the bullpen will need to hold it down this time.
As for the Mariners, they have strong hitting potential. Yet, they are not a powerhouse when it comes to scoring. The Mariners will not stand a chance there to make it past the Yanks for the second time. The Yanks are predicted to rebound and win on Tuesday to level up the series.
