Stanton walks it off vs. M’s

Aroldis Chapman earned the win in relief, striking out one in an inning of work.

MLB Betting Trends
Seattle
The over is 6-2 in the last eight Mariners road games and the over is 10-4-1 in the last 15 Seattle games overall.
New York
The Yankees are 18-6 in the last 24 meetings. The under is 28-11-3 in the last 42 meetings.
Prediction:
Paxton is not typically a big underdog as he has the capability to shut down any offense. But with Severino starting for New York, it’s not all that surprising. But the Yankees have a quick turnaround after celebrating a walk-off win. That can often lead to a letdown. I’m going to take a risk and bet on the big underdog here as it looks like a promising spot for an upset.
