Michael Wacha is starting for the Royals in this game and he is 2-4 with a 5.15 ERA this season. He has not been great this season as he has been consistently allowing runs in his starts, allowing at least 2 earned runs in each of his last 6 starts as well as allowing 10 runs in his last 2 starts alone. He has been a solid starter over the last few seasons but this year has been having trouble finding his rhythm on the mound with his new team. Logan Gilbert is starting for the Mariners in this game and he is 3-1 with a 2.94 ERA this season. He is coming off of his worst start of the season as he allowed 8 earned runs in 4 innings, but he has been very good in his other starts this year, allowing just 4 earned runs total in his 5 straight starts prior to this bad one, and he has also been much better at home so he will be trying to bounce back after that awful game. The Mariners also took the 1st game of this series 6-2 and have won the last 2 straight games now so they have some momentum on their side. The Mariners will win this game.
