The New York Yankees return home and hope to get down to some baseball after yesterday’s wild scene in Detroit. They will host the Seattle Mariners in the opener of a three-game series on Friday and will also entertain Central-leading Cleveland and East-leading Boston during the homestand. The Yankees finished off their road trip with a 10-6 loss at Detroit that featured five hit batters and three benches-clearing incidents. New York manager Joe Girardi placed the blame for the benches-clearing brawls squarely on the umpires, though Yankees pitcher Dellin Betances did hit a batter in the head with a fastball and both Girardi and bench coach Robby Thompson were ejected. Suspensions will likely be handed down after MLB reviews everything, which could take a few days. New York missed out on a chance to sweep to the Tigers and will begin the weekend 4.5 games behind Boston in the AL East. The Mariners have won six of their last eight and enter the series four games behind the wild card-leading Yankees and a half-game behind the Twins for the second spot. Seattle will be without former Yankee Robinson Cano as he’s scheduled for an MRI on Friday and joins OF Guillermo Heredia (forearm) as day-to-day. New York’s Gary Sanchez, who more than likely be suspended after Thursday’s fracas, went 7-for-15 with four home runs, nine RBIs and five runs scored in the Detroit series.
Pitchers: Mariners – Ariel Miranda (8-6, 4.78 ERA) | Yankees – CC Sabathia (10-5, 3.99)
Ariel Miranda is coming off a win over Tampa Bay on Saturday, but hasn’t looked very good lately. He hasn’t finished six innings in any of his last four starts and allowed three runs and five hits over five innings against the Rays. Miranda issued only one walk in that win after surrendering six free passes over 4.2 innings in a loss to the Los Angeles Angels on August 13th. He had a no-decision in his only start this year against the Yankees on July 22nd, allowing two runs in 5.1 innings.
KANSAS CITY CHIEFS VS SEATTLE SEAHAWKS FREE PICK
CC Sabathia is coming off a win over the Boston Red Sox on Saturday, allowing two runs and four hits over six innings to snap a three-start winless streak. The hefty-lefty topped out at six innings in his last eight outings and was lifted on Saturday despite throwing just 80 pitches. Sabathia needed 98 pitches to get through five innings at Seattle on July 21st but surrendered only one run on four hits and three walks to come away with the win.

Look for the Yankees to take-out their frustrations from yesterday’s game out on Miranda tonight. Seattle’s lineup is short-handed without Cano and the Mariners are only hitting .190 against lefties over their last ten games. I’ll take New York on the runline.
Pick: Yankees -1.5 +130
