KC snapped a four-game losing streak on Thursday while giving the Mariners their fourth straight loss. The Royals still aren’t producing runs though, which has to be a concern. Today’s pitching matchup isn’t a good one for either team, as both have been over a 5.50 ERA in their last three outings. Still, KC has an impressive record at home for a reason. Look for their arms to remain strong and keep the struggling Mariners from finding much offense.
