I’m taking the Yankees at home today against the Mariners. Yanks have the edge in starting pitching, bullpen, hitting, power, speed and bench. They are 25-16 at home over their last 41 and 8-3 in their last 11 home games against a lefty. Mariners are 0-6 in their last 6 against the Yankees. Tanaka’s been really sharp lately. Yankees should get this win.
