We can expect a superior effort from both chuckers tonight but having to play that double header in Cleveland last night had to cause some fatigue in the Yankees they may not be quick to overcome. Eight games on the road in seven days is a challenge for anyone, but to an already depleted lineup it can be a killer. The real unknown factor here though may be that the team that “can’t hit” according to the forum has a better offensive prospectus tonight than the team generally perceived to be the hitting team. In the 5 inning game the Mariners are 6-3-2 versus lefty and have an offensive era of 5.3 runs per 9, which will stand up to any offensive production submitted by anyone. At 7-4 in the nine inning game versus lefty and with the slightly better chucker on the hill I think we have a false favorite here.
