Kansas City Royals vs Seattle Mariners MLB Picks, Odds, Predictions 9/19/21

The Seattle Mariners and Kansas City Royals meet Sunday in MLB action at Kauffman Stadium. The Mariners need a win after losing five of their last seven games. The Royals look for a win after splitting their last 10 games.

The Seattle Mariners have scored 11 runs in their last three games and four or more runs in five of their last six games. The Mariners have split their last eight games when scoring four or more runs. Ty France leads the Mariners with 149 hits and 62 RBI while J.P. Crawford and Mitch Haniger have combined for 290 hits and 131 RBI. Logan Gilbert gets the ball, and he is 5-5 with a 4.97 ERA and 115 strikeouts this season. This will be Gilbert’s second career game against the Royals.

The Kansas City Royals have scored 12 runs in their last three games and four or more runs in six of their last nine games. The Royals have won five of their last six games when scoring four or more runs. Whit Merrifield leads the Royals with 170 hits and 70 RBI while Salvador Perez and Nicky Lopez have combined for 291 hits and 153 RBI. Jackson Kowar gets the ball, and he is 0-3 with a 11.50 ERA and 16 strikeouts this season. This will be Kowar’s first career game against the Mariners.

The Mariners are 11-5 in their last 16 Sunday games and 8-2 in their last 10 road games. The Royals are 46-106 in their last 152 during game 3 of a series and 3-8 in their last 11 home games. The over is 12-1 in Mariners last 13 overall. The under is 37-18-1 in Royals last 56 overall. The Mariners are 12-5 in the last 17 meetings.

Gilbert is a young, talented pitcher who is starting to put things together and has allowed just four runs in his last 15.1 innings. Kowar has been awful this season and he’s allowed 13 hits and 13 runs in his last 13 innings. I want nothing to do with the Royals in this spot. Give me the Mariners and the RL for max betting value.
