The Yankees‘ roster is currently bursting at the seams with inadequacy and failure. Having extracted just a singular win over three games against the New York Mets, the Yankees are now preparing to take on the Seattle Mariners on Tuesday evening.
The Mariners are five games above .500 and will feature a familiar face on the mound, Justus Sheffield, against the Yankees in the first game of the series. Sheffield has a 5.88 ERA this season, allowing 91 hits and 13 homers over 72 innings pitched. Considering how poor Jameson Taillon has performed, the Yankees’ starter for the matchup, he has allowed 17 fewer hits over a very similar sample size.
