This is an 8* play on the UNDER between the Kansas City Royals and the Seattle Mariners.

Kansas City sends Joe Blanton (1-0, 1.80 ERA) to the hill, who is coming off a 10-2 win over the Brewers on Wednesday. Blanton was making a spot start for Yordano Ventura and went five frames, ultimately giving up a single run while also striking out four. Blanton faces a stiff test today in throwing opposite Felix Hernandez (10-3, 3.08 ERA) who after a couple of disastrous outings, bounced back big time in a 2-0 win over the Giants on Wednesday, going eight innings and scattering just four hits while striking out five. "The King" has to be feeling pretty confident that he'll keep the momentum rolling here as he's 6-2 with a highly respectable 2.59 ERA at home and 3-0 with a tiny 1.93 ERA in all "night" games. A couple of seasoned veterans going head to head in the opener of this three-game set, I think the writing is on the wall and classic low-scoring duel is in the cards, play on the UNDER.
