Mariners vs. Royals MLB BETTING PREDICTION

Over his last 32 innings of work (five starts), Kirby is 2-0 with a 1.97 ERA and 2.17 FIP, which is outstanding. Today he’ll face a Royals offense that owns a 112 wrC+ over the past month, which ranks 10th in the league over that span, but Kirby has been nearly unhittable of late. Zerpa, meanwhile, will make his first start since July 26 of last year. In three previous career starts, he’s 1-2 with a 1.29 ERA. Seattle is mashing the ball right now (122 wRC+ over the past 30 days), but I think it’s going to be difficult for Kansas City to contribute enough runs to push this one over the total.

MLB BETTING PREDICTION: MARINERS/ROYALS OVER 9
