New York Yankees (55-31) at Seattle Mariners (34-52)
(R) Javier Vazquez (7-7) vs. (R) Felix Hernandez (6-5)
New York Yankees have won their last 5 games, 6-0 in its last 6 on the road and have taken six of their last 9 games versus the Mariners in Seattle. The Mariners have dropped their last 5 games, 0-5 in its last 5 at home.
Look for the Yankees to grab their eight straight win tonight when they face the lowest scoring team in the league. I believe this will be a low scoring contest. Seattle's right-hander Felix Hernandez is 3-0 with a 1.48 ERA in his last five starts and will give the hot Yankees a challenging task at the plate, while New York ‘s Javier Vazquez will confront Seattle’s lifeless bats. The total has gone ‘under’ in the last 4 meetings, 4-1 in the last 5 in Seattle.
New York's right-hander Javier Vazquez (7-7, 4.81), is 1-1 with a 4.00 ERA in his last three starts and is 4-3 with a 4.37 ERA in seven career starts against the Mariners. The Yankees are 4-1 in Vazquez’s last 5 road starts.
Seattle's right-hander Felix Hernandez (6-5, 3.01 ERA), is 1-0 with a 1.44 ERA in his last three starts and is 3-3 with a 3.61 ERA in six career starts against the Yankees. The Mariners are 2-5 in Hernandez’s last 7 home starts.
