As the Mariners prepare to host the Yankees at T-Mobile Park, all eyes will be on Randy Arozarena, the Mariners' standout left fielder. Over the past three games, Arozarena has showcased his prowess with a remarkable batting average of .417 and an OPS of 1.056. His performance against the Blue Jays on May 10 was particularly noteworthy, where he achieved a .667 average with an OPS of 1.75, driving in one run.

On the mound, Bryce Miller has been a reliable starter for Seattle. Despite a challenging game on May 11 with an ERA of 12.6 and WHIP of 2.0, his overall contributions cannot be overlooked. The Mariners will rely on his ability to bounce back and deliver solid innings early in the game.


Second Inning


The Yankees bring their own set of formidable players to Seattle. Aaron Judge continues to be a force in right field, boasting an impressive .800 average and OPS of 1.8 from their last game against the Athletics on May 11. Judge's ability to get on base and drive in runs makes him a constant threat to any opposing pitcher.

Paul Goldschmidt also stands out for New York with consistent performances across recent games, including a .600 average and OPS of 1.8 in their latest outing. His presence at first base adds depth to the Yankees' lineup that can challenge any pitching rotation.


Third Inning


In terms of pitching matchups, Collin Snider has shown potential as a relief pitcher for Seattle with an ERA of 0.0 over one inning pitched during their series against Toronto on May 10. His ability to keep runners off base will be crucial in maintaining momentum for Seattle as they navigate through New York's potent lineup.
