On Saturday night, the Seattle Mariners host the Kansas City Royals in the middle game of their weekend set. The Royals (12-9) are in second place in the American League Central and just fell on Wednesday to the Angels, 4-2. The Mariners (11-10) are in second place in the American League West after losing on Wednesday to Houston, 7-4. Be sure to keep checking for more MLB odds and lines by clicking here.

A Look at the Kansas City Royals at Seattle Mariners MLB Betting Pick

When: Saturday, April 30, 2016, 10:10pm Eastern time Where: Safeco Field, Seattle TV: RTNW, FSKC Radio: Kansas City / Seattle Live Stream: MLB.tv MLB Odds: TBA Pitching Matchup: Yordano Ventura (2-0, 2.35 ERA) (KC) vs Wade Miley (1-2, 7.04 ERA) (SEA)

Why Should You Bet on Kansas City?

The matchup of starting pitchers definitely favors the Royals. Ventura has struck out 21 batters in his first four starts and was brilliant in his most recent start, permitting just a run and three hits in seven innings and retiring 19 of the last 21 men to come to the plate. On the other side, Wade Miley has been pretty hittable until his last start, when he got into the eighth inning and picked up a win. Kendrys Morales will be particularly glad to see Miley, given that he has a .500 lifetime average against his pitching.

Why Should You Put Your Money on the Mariners?

When Wade Miley has been on the mound, the Mariners have done better against Kansas City than against other teams. Miley faced the Royals twice last year when he was with the Red Sox and picked up two wins, permitting only one run in 13 ⅓ innings of work. The Mariners also have some offensive weapons who have been showing signs of life, such as Nelson Cruz and Robinson Cano. It remains to be seen if they can perk up against someone like Ventura.

Expert Betting Pick and Final Score Prediction

I like Ventura to mow down the Mariners and deliver a win for the Royals. I’m predicting a 3-0 Royals win.
