The sputtering Kansas City Royals try to end their 4 game skid tonight in Seattle when they send their ace, Yordano Ventura to the hill. Ventura is 2-0 in the season, with a 2.35 ERA and a WHIP of 1.26. The 1-2 leftie, Wade Miley gets the start for the Mariners and he has an ERA of 7.04 and a WHIP of 1.65. The Royals can hit lefties, going 11-1 in the last 12 games and 5-1 in their last 6 road games against them. Welke is behind the dish tonight and the Royals are 6-1 in the last 7 when he’s calling it.
The Chicago White Sox have dropped 2 at Camden Yards and they’ll try to get one back tonight when they send the ex-Padre, Matt Latos to the mound. Latos has been dominant so far in the 2016 campaign, going 4-0 with an ERA of 0.74 and a WHIP of 0.82. The Orioles are sending Kevin Gausman to the hill, and he’s got an ERA of 1.80 and a WHIP of 1.00. Baltimore is just 2-7 in Gausman’s last 9 games against teams with a winning record. Ernie, this one’s for you.
