Mariners vs. Royals Pick
Money Line Pick for Mariners vs. Royals
- Mariners ML (4 Units)
Although Miller has struggled in his career against the Royals, this is still a good spot to take the Mariners on the ML. Seattle's offense has hit Ragans well, while the left-hander has been hit hard as of late, as he went just 3 innings, so expect the Mariners to get after him. Seattle's bullpen is also better, as the Mariners will be able to lock it down late to get a big win here.
Take Mariners ML.
Over/Under Pick for Mariners vs. Royals
- Over (5 Units)
The over is also a great spot here as Miller has struggled in his career against Kansas City, while Ragans has struggled as of late, which should lead to plenty of runs. This season, Seattle is 81-64-5 in hitting the over, which is the second-best over record in the majors. With how these starters have pitched as of late, the over is a great spot here.
Take the over.
