The Mariners are coming into this game with a 36-28 record this season, but they have been a much different team on the road this year. They are 21-11 at home but only 15-17 on the road this year, and this is not a good spot for them as they had to play against the A's on Thursday and then travel to the East for this game today. They are going up against a Royals team that is 37-26 this season and they have been very similar to the Mariners with home dominance. The Royals are only 15-16 on the road this season, but they have been much better at home at 22-10. They have been playing much better recently as well, winning 2 of their last 3 games and coming off of a win against the Guardians in their last game. Daniel Lynch is starting for the Royals in this game and he is 0-0 with a 1.50 ERA this season. He has only made 3 starts this season but he has pitched at least 5 innings in 2 of those starts and he has not allowed any runs in 2 of his starts as well. He has only allowed 2 earned runs in his 12 innings pitched this season and his best start was his only start at home which he only gave up 2 hits in and had 6 strikeouts. Bryce Miller is starting for the Mariners in this game and he is 5-5 with a 3.18 ERA this season. He has been good in his last 2 starts as he has only allowed 2 earned runs total, but both of those were also at home where he has pitched much better. He has not been as good on the road as he has allowed at least 4 earned runs in each of his last 3 road starts. The Royals have been much better at home this season and they have an offense that has been scoring a lot of runs. This is also a bad spot for the Mariners with the travel and the Royals can take advantage of that here. The Royals will win this game at home.
