Heading into Tuesday’s matchup between Seattle and New York, the Yankees are the favorite to come away with the win. Although the Mariners will be throwing their top pitcher in Logan Gilbert, the Yankees will counter with equally impressive Jameson Taillon. The New York right-hander is coming off a scoreless 6-inning performance vs Kansas City. I like the Yankees on the moneyline.
