Friday’s 7-run output was pretty surprising for the Mariners, as they had been held to 4 runs or less in their last six games. Today they face C.C. Sabathia, who has a 4.50 ERA, but showed some good things against a strong Tigers’ lineup in his season debut. Seattle has King Felix on the mound, which means runs should be tough to come by for New York. Look for this to be a low-scoring game in the Bronx.
