Tonight the Royals are at the Mariners for game 2 of the series. Last night Jaime Moyer absolutely owned the Royals and the Mariners won 4-0. The Royals are just what the doctor ordered for the struggling Mariners. While the Royals are pretty much gone this season, the Mariners play in the ugly American League West. They still have a shot at getting to the playoffs—if they can get their act together.

Seattle is just 3-7 over their last 10 game, but they have won 2 in a row and are showing signs of life. The Royals are also 3-7 over their last 10 games and they have lost 2 in a row. The Royals are winning just 25% of their games. They are in danger of posting the worst record in MLB history. They are on pace to lose 115 games, which would make their final record 47-115.

Tonight the Royals are sending Seth Etherton to the mound to face off against Joel Pineiro of the Mariners. The Mariners are a huge favorite at -203. The under/over is 9.5. The under is -145. Warning to sports betting aficionados, some sites are reporting Etherton’s ERA as 1.80, but this was for one official outing. He has bounce around the league for years and was recently acquired by the Royals from the Padres for cash (possibly a player to be named later instead of cash). This season in AAA, he was 2-2 with a 4.38 ERA. In the majors, he has a 6.08 ERA.
