Seattle at New York

Darrell Rasnor made six starts for the Yankees last year and gave up 3 runs or less in five of them. Rasnor was promoted from Scranton-Wilkes Barre, where he was off to a 4-0 start with an 0.87 ERA. Carlos Silva has given the Mariners more than expected, and has pitched well, but the Yankees have given him fits. His last two starts against the Yankees show 9.1 innings and 18 hits, and an ERA of 9. The Mariners are in a free-fall, losing four straight and eight of ten. The offense has been a no-show, producing just 4 runs in the last three games. The Yanks were 6-2 last year going for the sweep at home in a three game series and we expect them to win this one rather convincingly.
