The best total for Wednesday night's slate of MLB games has to be the over in the game between the Yankees and the Mariners.

There should be plenty of runs as Seattle (39-36) travels to the Bronx to take on New York (43-32) and the betting odds in this MLB game are simply not high enough to make us think about doing anything with this total other than betting the over.

Bookmaker.com has the MLB betting odds up with the home-team Yankees favored by a line of -170 to go along with a runs-scored total of 9.5 and neither has moved much since the odds became available to bet.

The weather forecast is calling for perfect baseball weather but these starting pitchers will feel like they are in the middle of a storm on Wednesday night with both having matchup problems against the opposing offenses.

Seattle will go with Jarrod Washburn (4-5, 3.22 ERA) and the veteran will struggle here despite a surprisingly solid season leading up to this point. Washburn faces some of the weakest offenses in the MLB on a regular basis thanks to their American Least West division but this is a Yankee team that plays in a tiny ball park and won't get baffled by Washburn's array of pitches.

The Yankees will counter with lefty Andy Pettite (7-3, 4.38 ERA) and the aging pitcher has given up way too many runs in recent starts.

He's also had some issues when pitching at home thanks to the tiny dimensions of this new MLB stadium and he could have some trouble with the Mariners hitting .305 against left-handed pitchers over the course of their last 10 games.

New York always hits lefties well and you have to like this total to go over. Smart veterans can excel but this little league ballpark means all bets are off and you have to like the MLB betting odds to go over. Get these MLB betting odds at Bookmaker.com, where the line originates since 1985.
