This is an 8* play on the OVER Mariners/Royals.

The Royals hammered the Mariners 10-0 yesterday. We're expecting a more balanced affair tonight, but we do believe we'll see a similar final combined outcome once it's all said and done. The Mariners turn to Felix Hernandez (1-1, 7.71 ERA) who gave up eight runs off six hit and five walks over four innings while striking out one in a loss to San Francisco on Wednesday. "The King" managed only seven swinging strikes out of his 87 pitches and we think he'll be in tough here as well. The home side counters with Eric Skoglund, who makes his season debut after going 1-2 with a 9.50 ERA last year. Skoglund looked decent at the Triple-A level, but that success has so far not been carried over in his time in the Big Leagues. Note that Seattle has seen the total go OVER the number in four of five on the road already this year, while KC has seen it go over in two of three at home. All signs point to a slugfest, play the OVER.
