Top 3 Player Props

Player Prop #1: Juan Soto / Over 1.5 Total Bases / -115 / Confidence 71% / Soto remains the primary offensive engine with Yankees missing Judge/Stanton/Bellinger; faces Mariners staff depleted by injuries and Yankees home park favors extra-base hits in recent low-total games where he still produces.
Player Prop #2: Cal Raleigh / Under 0.5 Home Runs / -140 / Confidence 68% / Mariners catcher power suppressed against Yankees pitching trends and overall series low-scoring (prior meeting 4-1); missing lineup support around him lowers HR probability.
Player Prop #3: Gleyber Torres / Over 0.5 Runs / -130 / Confidence 66% / High on-base role in thinned Yankees order; recent form shows consistent scoring contributions even in 2-5 run team outputs and home advantage boosts run potential.

⚖️ Analysis Summary

Public and money percentages align strongly with the Yankees on both moneyline and spread while heavily backing the Under, matching the mathematical and recent-form signals of a low-scoring home win. Yankees are 6-4 in last 10 with sub-3 RPG offense and defense, amplified by key absences (Judge, Stanton, Bellinger, Rodón) on both sides that further suppress totals. No fade is warranted; the market consensus holds positive EV, especially on the total.
