The current betting odds have the Mariners listed as a favorite in this game according to Draftkings Sportsbook. The Mariners haven't looked great in their games lately but they are still trying to hold down their final Wild Card spot so they will be motivated to break out of their recent slump here. They have one of their better starters up for this game and he has been pitching very well all season. The Royals have been very hot lately as they enter this series on a winning streak, but they are not the kind of team that is going to sustain that as they have one of the worst records in the MLB this year. The Mariners need to start winning games again and the Royals don't have a very good starter as he is a rookie and very inexperienced pitching in the MLB. The Royals also have one of the worst offenses in the MLB too, and they are going to struggle to put up runs on Castillo here. The Mariners have a good offense and they will wake up in this game with some runs. The best way to place a bet here is on the Mariners to win this game.
