Mariners vs Yankees MLB Player Prop Picks (Jul 9)

First pitch is at 7:05 p.m. ET on Amazon Prime Video and ROOT Sports NW. Seattle’s rotation, boosted by strong performances since Logan Gilbert’s return, faces a New York Yankees team desperate for offensive life. Rookie Cam Schlittler makes his MLB debut for the Yankees, while Logan Evans (3–2, 3.94 ERA) draws the start for Seattle.

• Mariners’ rotation ERA has improved significantly (3.50 since Gilbert returned), while the team has recorded three straight 1–0 shutouts.
• Yankees have slumped (11–18 over last 30 days) with weakened offense and injury-hit pitching staff.
• Logan Evans has delivered quality starts—five straight outings with at least five innings, including 5⅔ scoreless vs. Royals.

Seattle Mariners Player Prop Pick: Logan Evans

Seattle enters on a hot streak, with a top-five rotation anchored by Logan Gilbert, Evans, and others. Gilbert, despite an IL stint, continues to average strong strikeouts and has worked efficiently into the 5th inning. Offensively, they rely on power from Cal Raleigh (36 HR) and consistent production from J.P. Crawford. Their bullpen remains rock-solid, delivering control in late innings.

• Despite efficient outing styles, Evans has recorded fewer than 7.5 Ks in 7 of 11 starts.
• Yankees hitters are disciplined, forcing early contact rather than chasing.
• Expect 5–6 innings from Evans—hard to reach 8+ Ks.

New York Yankees Player Prop Pick: Cam Schlittler

The Yankees have stumbled entering the All-Star break, with declining outputs from Aaron Judge, Paul Goldschmidt, and others. The rotation is patchwork, featuring rookie starters Cam Schlittler (debuting today) and Will Warren, supplemented by recent returnees like Marcus Stroman. They’ll need an offensive bounce-back to win this series.

• Schlittler recorded a 36.8% strikeout rate in Triple-A.
• Mariners include chase-prone hitters like Cal Raleigh, increasing K chances.
• Even a 4–5 inning debut could generate 5+ Ks given his arsenal.
