The Seattle Mariners are clicking on every cylinder and will open a 3-game set tonight against the Kansas City Royals at T-Mobile Park. The Mariners are 71-56, have won 8 of their last 10, and are now just 1 game behind Texas for the lead in the AL West. Tonight’s expected starter for Seattle is Bryce Miller. The rookie has been dealing. He is 8-4 with a 3.78 ERA, a 1.01 WHIP, and it gets better. Over his last 3, Miller is 1-0 with a 1.06 ERA, a WHIP of only 0.88, and the Mariners are 5-0 in his last 5 starts against a team with a losing record. The 41-88 Royals lost 3 of 4 to the Mariners just last week at the K and will send Brady Singer to the hill. Singer is 8-9 with a 5.04 ERA, a 1.36 WHIP, and was torched by the Cubs in his last turn where he gave up 6 runs on 9 hits resulting in a 6-4 Chicago win. Seattle is the side to consider here.
