Yesterday's comp play was the Mariners and Yankees to hold under the posted total, and it did just that, with the teams combining for only five runs in their nine-inning game. 

That result was hardly an outlier for Seattle, which has now played four straight games under the posted total and five of its last six under.

The Yankees' offensive woes have been well documented, and the recent results continue to back up the under. New York is now 5-1 under the total in its last six games and 9-4 under in its last 13. 

With the Yankees continuing to struggle to consistently generate runs, there is little reason to expect a sudden offensive explosion against a Seattle club that has also been involved in a string of low-scoring games.

The pitching matchup gives us another reason to stay on the low side. Seattle sends Bryce Miller to the mound, and the right-hander enters with a 4-6 record, a 3.08 ERA.

New York counters with Will Warren, who is 8-6 with a 4.18 ERA.

The posted total is 8 1/2 runs, and that number gives us some room for error in a matchup where the recent trend is overwhelmingly toward lower-scoring baseball. 

Seattle has gone under in four straight, five of its last six, while New York has gone under in five of its last six and nine of its last 13. The first game of this series also finished under, and Tuesday's game produced just five combined runs.

Go Low in the Bronx one more time on Wednesday.
