5 minKansas City Royals vs. Seattle Mariners Prediction: Can George Kirby, Mariners Take Down Royals at Home?
Brady Singer and the Royals are off to a much better start to the season than most anticipated. Their offense has cooled-off of late, but Brady Singer has only allowed one earned run in each of his last three starts each. Will Singer throw another gem against the Mariners tonight, or will George Kirby put his recent struggles to the side and out-pitch him?

Kansas City Royals vs. Seattle Mariners Prediction
George Kirby had high expectations heading into the 2024 MLB season. At one point earlier this year, his ERA ballooned up to 6.97 back in April. He has since lowered it, but after giving up three home runs to the Twins last week on the road, it’s still higher than it should be. Tonight, Kirby will be pitching on his home mound looking to rebound from that brutal start against the Twins…
I like Kirby’s chances at home against the struggling Royals bats tonight. That’s not a hot take; the total for this game is set at o/u 7, but considering Kirby’s recent struggles, it’s a good sign seeing Seattle laying (-150) on the moneyline tonight. With how well Brady Singer has pitched of late, that’s some serious respect on Kirby and the Mariners tonight…
The Mariners bats, unlike Kansas City’s, have been heating up of late. Seattle scored eight runs in two of their three games against Oakland over the weekend, and they will be staying at home as they welcome in the Royals for a three game series. The Mariners are 13-9 both as favorites and at home in 2024. Seattle laying (-150) on the moneyline with this low of a total tells me they take care of business at home once again tonight.
Seattle typically plays well against the Royals. They’ve beaten them four of the last five games they’ve played. Buy-low on George Kirby and the Mariners tonight, and sell-high on the Royals. Until their offense wakes back up, they are officially on fade watch.
