The Seattle Mariners are coming into this game having just completed a series against the Chicago White Sox, in which they won two of the matches. On the other hand, the Kansas City Royals were only able to pull off one victory against the Oakland Athletics during their series.

After winning 8 of their past 9 games, the Seattle Mariners are looking to keep their winning streak going. The Seattle Mariners hold the second slot in the American League's wild card standings at the present time. The pitching staff of the Seattle Mariners is currently in second place in ERA (3.69), first place in WHIP (1.18), and second place in quality starts (61).

Julio Rodriguez has a team-high 144 hits and is in first place in the RBI category with 80, while Teoscar Hernandez and Ty France have combined for 247 hits and a total of 120 RBI for the Mariners. Bryce Miller is scheduled to pitch, and he has a record of 8-4 with a 3.78 earned run average and 89 strikeouts so far this season. After suffering a defeat on the road, the Seattle Mariners have been victorious in every one of their last ten games as favorites against teams from the American League Central. After suffering a loss on the road in each of their previous six games, the Seattle Mariners have covered the run line in every one of those contests.

After dropping seven of their previous nine games, the Kansas City Royals are desperate for a victory. The Kansas City Royals have a record of 41-88, which places them in the second-worst position in the American League. The pitching staff for the Kansas City Royals is ranked 28th in earned run average (5.13), 25th in walks allowed per nine innings (1.41), and 29th in quality starts (28).

In his career versus the Mariners, Singer has a record of 1-0 with a 1.71 earned run average and 22 strikeouts. Following a victory, the Kansas City Royals have been unsuccessful on the road against opponents from the American League in each of their subsequent 14 games. After winning on the road, the Royals have failed to cover the run line in seven of their last eight games against opponents from the American League. After the first five innings of each of their previous 11 Saturday games against teams with a winning record, the Kansas City Royals have finished in a position of deficit every single time.

The Kansas City Royals are continuing to rack up losses, and the money that was wagered on them hasn't been returned. In this day and age, it is difficult to rally support for the Kansas City Royals. When Brady Singer, a pitcher with a 5.04 ERA and a 1.36 WHIP, is on the mound, it makes things much more difficult. The Seattle Mariners have put together a solid week, and in order to continue establishing space between themselves and the rest of the teams competing for playoff spots, they need to make the most of games like this one. Bryce Miller's performances have been satisfactory, as evidenced by his 3.78 ERA and 1.01 WHIP. If you want to maximize the value of your bet, stake on the Seattle Mariners winning and the run line.
