Seattle Mariners will face Kansas City Royals this Saturday night at Kauffman Stadium, Kansas City Missouri.These teams met at the end of August with Kansas City taking 3 of the 4 games in the series. Yusei Kikuchi pitch for the Seattle while Kris Bubic is for the Royals.
The Mariners continue to lose ground in a very contentious AL Wild Card race. Seattle has now dropped 2 of 3 games in 3 straight series to the Astros, Diamondbacks, and Red Sox. The team is now 4 games back from the lowest playoff seed as the Blue Jays, Yankees, and Red Sox are all tied for the spots. Their final stretch isn’t too difficult as they will alternate between the Athletics and Angels the rest of the way for their remaining 4 series. If they want a chance of making the playoffs for the first time in 20 years. Kyle Seager has been a big bat in the Mariners lineup this season. He has team bests in Home Runs (34) and RBI’s (96) but is hitting just a .208 average.
Kansas City has been a below average team all season and they continue to sit at that spot as Septembers rolled around. The Royals are 66-79, good for 4th in the AL Central. Catcher Salvador Perez leads the Royals offensively as he is having the best season of his career and possibly for any catcher in history. He hit his career high 45th homer on Thursday and is in reach of the franchise home run record of 48 set by Jorge Soler in 2019. With one swing, Perez increased his league high RBI total to 112 as well as tying Johnny Bench for the most home runs in a season by a catcher. The record has stood for 51 years and it is likely to be broken by Perez with just less than a month remaining.
This is a tight pitching matchup as both pitchers have ERA’s north of 4 but WHIP’s south of 1.50. Its a battle of southpaws but Kansas City has fared better against lefties this season hitting .264 compared to Seattle’s low .224 average. I’m taking Kansas City to play spoiler and grab a weekend win.
