Seattle Mariners Team Preview

The Seattle Mariners won the first two games of the four-game series against the New York Yankees on the road following a 5-4 win in Game 1 on Monday and a 6-3 win in Game 2 of the series on Tuesday; however, Bryce Miller struggled in Game 3 of the series, allowing five runs while striking out four in his six innings pitched. 

The loss ended the two-game winning streak for the Seattle Mariners; however, they remain in first place in the AL West with a record of 27-23 and are the only team in the division with a winning record. Seattle has won three of their five series this month and will not lose the series against New York, as the worst they can do is tie the Yankees 2-2 in the series. 

Seattle has won three of the previous four meetings against New York, outscoring the Yankees by an average of 6 to 4 in those contests. The Seattle Mariners will look to win their fourth series in May when they travel to face the New York Yankees in Game 4 of the series.

New York Yankees Team Preview

The Yankees entered the series on a seven-game winning streak; however, they lost the first two games of the series but rebounded with a 7-3 win in Game 3 of the series on Wednesday. This season, New York has only lost two series, a 1-3 series loss against the Baltimore Orioles and a 1-2 series loss against the Toronto Blue Jays, both of which came on the road. The Yankees have one of the best records at home in baseball this season, at 17-8; however, with a loss in Game 4 on Thursday, they would lose their first series at home this year.
