The Yankees are (3-1) against Seattle this year outscoring them 20-11. New York is (35-22) at home this season whereas Seattle is (30-31) on the road. Mariners starter Ariel Miranda (8-6, 4.78) has held Yankees hitters to a combined .227 average against albeit in only 22 at-bats. Miranda has struggled on the road (5-3, 6.19) and has pitched poorly since the All-Star break (1-2, 6.51).
New York ranks 4th in runs per game (5.19) and 5th in team ERA (3.84). The Yankees will start C.C. Sabathia (10-5, 3.99) on the mound. The Mariners hitters are batting a combined .234 against Sabathia in 137 total at-bats. Both Robinson Cano (.211) and Kyle Seager (.150) have had a tough time against the big lefty. Sabathia has not pitched well in the hitter friendly Yankee Stadium (3-2, 5.68). Sabathia has had mixed results since the All-Star break (3-2, 4.45). The Yankees have the advantage in this pitching match-up and should win this one at home.
