Seattle Mariners vs Kansas City Royals Prediction
The Royals pitching staff continues to get rocked, and now they’re throwing out Ragans who has an ERA over 5 and a 1.29 WHIP. Ragans also hasn’t pitched since June as he’s been dealing with a shoulder injury. Miller has had issues himself this season, but the Mariners have won 10 straight games and make a push for the AL West crown. We’ve been blindly backing the M’s during this stretch, and there’s no reason to turn back now. Give me the Mariners to keep things rolling.
