Starting Pitchers
- Yankees: RHP Clarke Schmidt (2-5, 5.58 ERA, 1.60 WHIP)
On top of Schmidt’s unimpressive 5.58 ERA, he holds a 7.27 ERA in four starts away from home this season. However, the right-hander looked solid in his last two starts, allowing just a total of three earned runs in 10 innings pitched against the Baltimore Orioles and Cincinnati Reds.
- Mariners: RHP George Kirby (5-4, 3.43 ERA, 1.10 WHIP)
Kirby is coming off a tough home outing against the Pittsburgh Pirates last Friday, where he gave up 9 hits, 7 earned runs, and four homers. Prior to that, he had allowed three or fewer earned runs in eight straight starts.
Mariners Betting Trends
- Mariners are 6-2 in their last 8 overall.
- Over is 4-1 in Mariners last 5 overall.
Yankees Betting Trends

- Over is 14-3 in Yankees last 17 games following a win.
Mariners vs. Yankees Predictions
As mentioned above, Seattle RHP Kirby got shelled in his last start, but he has otherwise been solid this season. The Yankees have a tough lineup, but we have to believe he’ll bounce back to his usual quality start on Wednesday.
It’s the opposite for Yankees RHP Schmidt, who has looked strong in his last two starts but holds an inflated 5.58 ERA on the season. Schmidt has been particularly bad on the road with a 7.27 ERA away from Yankee Stadium.
The Yankees have taken it to the Mariners in the past two days, winning 10-4 on Monday and 10-2 on Tuesday. While sending Kirby to the mound, this is a fine spot for Seattle to bounce back at home and avoid the sweep.

Mariners vs. Yankees Props
Seattle RHP Kirby has been strong this season, but he’s not necessarily a strikeout pitcher.
Dating back to last season, he has fallen short of 5.5 strikeouts in 11 of his last 15 starts. He has gone under that mark in 6-of-10 games this year.
On the season, the Yankees rank 17th in strikeout rate at 22.5%.
Put it all together, and this is a decent spot to take Mariners RHP Kirby under 5.5 strikeouts with -132 odds on FanDuel.
