Seattle at Kansas City

The Kansas City Royals are a young team on the climb. For the fist time in a long time, they will be playing meaningful games to start September. They are catching a poor Seattle team with their ace, Felix Hernandez, struggling. Hernandez has dropped his last three starts none of which were uglier than his last one where he yielded 9 runs on 11 hits, lasting just three innings. Danny Duffy has given the Royals' rotation a lift at 2-0 with a 1.10 ERA, and has not yielded a single run in his last two starts. Hernandez is not only struggling in the moment, he has an extended stretch of struggling when facing a winning team where the Mariners are just 5-16 in his last 21. The Royals own a 7-0 mark behind Duffy in his last seven starts vs. a losing team. Go with Kansas City.
