The Yankees have lost 11 of their last 19 games, two of them started by Domingo German, who is taking the place of Luis Severino. Their extreme winning pace was impossible to carry on the entire season, and now betting against the big prices is profitable. The Yankees are losing, but their top rating and big prices remain the same. Mariners to win.

Just won fading Seattle today and now the M's have to get on a plane and fly across country (well from Houston so I guess halfway; and used all their high leverage relievers). Their best player, Julio Rodriguez, is on the injured list and it doesn't sound like Ty France will be in the lineup, either. You bet your britches, as my very midwestern ritz-and-salami treats grandmother would say, I'm taking the Yankees here.
