New York Yankees DFS Spin
Yankees right fielder Juan Soto reached base 4 times in his team’s 11-2 win over the Mariners on Tuesday night. In that contest, the four-time All-Star went 2 for 2 with a homer, 2 RBIs, 3 runs scored, and 2 walks. For the season, Soto is hitting .287 with 40 homers, 103 RBIs, and a .994 OPS across 671 plate appearances. Juan Soto is batting .294 with an OPS of 1.042 during night games this season, making him an interesting DFS option on Wednesday night.
Seattle Mariners DFS Spin
Mariners center fielder Julio Rodriguez recorded nearly half of his team’s hits in their 11-2 home loss to the Yankees on Tuesday. Hitting out of the #2 spot in the lineup, the right-handed hitter from the Dominican Republic went 4 for 5 with a double. Across 560 plate appearances this season, Rodriguez is hitting .268 with 16 homers, 54 RBIs, 22 stolen bases, and an OPS of .715. Julio Rodriguez is batting .293 with an OPS of .828 over the past 15 days. That fact makes the 23-year-old worthy of DFS consideration in most formats.

Yankees vs. Mariners Betting Prediction
Despite their loss to the Yankees on Tuesday night, the Mariners are playing good baseball over the past two weeks. Since September 4th, Seattle is 8-4 straight up. In that 12-game span, the Mariners scored 6 runs or more 5 times and held their opponents to 3 runs or fewer 5 times. Seattle will also be starting right-hander Bryce Miller for this contest on Wednesday night. Miller is 11-8 this season with a 3.12 ERA and a 0.99 WHIP. He has a 4.1 strikeout-to-walk ratio, an 8.5 K/9, and an opponent batting average of .208 in 2024.
Seattle is 16-13 straight up in Miller’s starts this year, and they’ll have the advantage of this game being at home. In 15 home starts this year, Bryce Miller is 6-3 with a 1.99 ERA and an opponent batting average of .184. Miller got touched up by the Yankees on May 22nd of this year (5 earned runs allowed over 6 innings) but I like his chances to bounce back against New York on Tuesday. I’m taking the Mariners at home as money-line underdogs in this one.
