Yankees vs Mariners Preview & Prediction: Records, Pitching Matchups, head to head and more | Game - 03, May- 22
The New York Yankees seem to have lost their footing in their current series against the Seattle Mariners. Tuesday saw the Mariners dominating the Yanks from the very beginning, which was even reflected in the final scoreline of 6-3.
Already having lost two out of the four games, Aaron Boone and his team would surely try to at least win the third game so that they still stand a chance to tie the series.
On the other hand, the Mariners would look to continue their hot streak and register another victory, which would solidify their position as the winners of this series.

On the other side, Bryce Miller would be starting things on the mound for the Mariners. The 25-year-old RHP has played and started nine games for the M's. He has an ERA of 3.08, a WHIP of 0.99 and has struck out 52 batters so far this season.
Yankees vs. Mariners Prediction
The Mariners, who were considered the underdogs in this series because of the Yankees' red-hot form a couple of games ago, are now almost favorites to win Game 3 and perhaps this series as they are just a win away from making it three wins in a series of four games.
However, the Yanks have players like Juan Soto, Marcus Stroman, Alex Verdugo, Aaron Judge and others who can make a world of difference for the team and bring them back to glory with an emphatic win. Boone would surely hope his players to try and win the third and the upcoming fourth game so that they can at least tie the series.
