Kansas City at Seattle

Seattle is solidly in last place in the AL West and in rebuilding mode whether it likes it or not. The Mariners are also only 13-22 at home this season. It's revenge time for Kansas City after being swept in a four-game series by the Mariners in April, and the Royals come off an 8-6 win at Minnesota on Sunday. Martin Maldonado had three hits for the Royals, who held on after an early 3-0 lead over the Twins. Seattle has alternated wins and losses its last 12 games, meaning its due for a loss after beating Oakland yesterday. The Mariners have lost 36 of their last 51 overall and 21 of their last 29 home games. Also, Seattle is 4-13 its last 17 games versus left-handed starters. Danny Duffy has a 2.92 ERA against Seattle the last three years in 24 2/3 innings pitched. Play the Royals.
