The Seattle Mariners and New York Yankees close out a three-game series Wednesday afternoon.
This series has been an excellent test for Seattle to see if they are ready for prime time. They showed up last night, scoring several runs late to secure a win. After dropping three of four to the Houston Astros in their previous set, a series win against the Yankees would be great for them.

"Fly, Sammy, Fly!" - Mariners
Pitching in this one are Luis Castillo for the Mariners and Gerrit Cole for the Yankees.
Castillo is making his first start since joining the Mariners, and it couldn't be in a bigger spot, playing at the Bronx Zoo. He holds a 2.86 ERA, but it's a big change jumping from the National League to the American League. Bettors should keep an eye on him to see how he adjusts.
Cole is having a typical season and is the sixth-favorite for American League Cy Young (+2500). He's a generational talent and is one of the few pitchers who's made the jump to the Yankees and has continued to perform on the same level.
