Kansas City at Seattle

KC stole two road games in Oakland. Do I have a new found respect for the Royals? Not really - I just realize how bad Oakland really is. KC goes with Bob Keppel who makes his first major league start tonight. Jamie Moyer has not had a good start to the season but he has been solid at home (3.18 ERA). And, he's 13-2 as a home favorite over the past two seasons. Over the past three seasons, Seattle is 12-4 vs. KC including 7-1 here in Seattle. Think KC can win again on the road as a big dog? Consider that over the past two seasons, the Royals are 1-23 on the road after having won 2 of their last 3 games. Yes, that's 1 win in 24 tries! Mariners here.
