The strongest value here was not tied to the Yankees winning outright. The +1.5 handicap also covers a one-run defeat — letting us respect Bryan Woo’s quality while backing the stronger overall profile of the home team. And on the season-long numbers, that gap was clear.
The Mariners’ matchup against left-hander Ryan Weathers was the key. Seattle ranked near the very bottom of MLB against left-handed pitching, and Weathers arrived in the best form of his season.
The Yankees also held a meaningful late-game edge: a 3.13 bullpen ERA (2nd in MLB) against Seattle’s 3.78, behind an MLB-leading 3.30 staff ERA. If the game stayed close into the later innings, that stability raised the chance New York avoided a multi-run defeat. The model priced the cover at 77.65% — fair odds near 1.288 — making the available 1.442 a +12.01% EV position.
Woo owned a 0.96 ERA in three career starts in the Bronx and carried a no-hitter into the eighth on his most recent visit. New York were also without Aaron Judge, Cody Bellinger and Giancarlo Stanton, with batting orders unconfirmed — a dominant Woo outing against a depleted lineup was the clearest path to a two-run defeat. Stake stayed at 1 unit.
