Analysis:
FREE (2*) on NY YANKEES
Listed Pitchers
The Yankees send out Tanaka on Wednesday afternoon. He's been extremely sharp in 2 of his last 3 outings. His control and command of his pitches has been great. He has NOT walked a single batter in his last 3 starts, while striking out 25 batters. He dominated these Mariners in his lone start vs them this season. He has had great success vs Seattle in his career as well. The current Mariners are hitting just a combined (.155) with a meager (.524) OPS. I do expect him to limit the Mariners again this afternoon. The Mariners hand the ball over to Iwakuma. He's having another solid season. These Yankees to knock him around in his lone start vs them this season. These Yankees are swinging the bats well right now & I do expect them to get to Iwakuma eventually. I really like these Yankees in this spot on Wednesday, as they're clicking right now as a club & Tanaka is really on his game. I'm backing these Yankees in this spot on Wednesday afternoon.
