Kansas City at Seattle

The Royals may look back on a 3-16 run earlier in the season as the reason they are not in the playoffs. They are three games behind for the second wildcard slot, but with just six games remaining and two teams to catch, their chances are slim at best. The Mariners continue to fight. They have been in so many close games, but have lost their last eight games in extra frames. They currently have played five straight 1-run games, losing four of them. James Paxton is 2-0 with a 2.12 ERA, and right handed hitters are hitting just .145 against him. The Royals have come up short on the road behind Chen, where they are a miserable 4-11 in his last 15 road starts. The Royals have been beaten here in four of their last five. Play this one on Seattle.
