Seattle Mariners Struggle in Day Games and Against Left-Handed Pitchers, Kansas City Royals Look to Continue Strong Home Record

The Seattle Mariners' batting averages drop to .202/.290/.337/.627 in day games and .223/.302/.383/.684 against left-handed pitchers. Despite scoring nine runs on Friday night, the team still faced a loss due to its lack of high-scoring capabilities. Pitcher Ragans has maintained a strong performance this season, with his Expected ERA aligning with his actual ERA, confirming his credibility. The Mariners have yet to play against Ragans, which plays to his advantage. On the other hand, the Kansas City Royals demonstrated resilience in game one by overcoming an eight-run deficit to secure a 10-9 victory. The Royals' impressive 23-10 record at home is supported by their batting average of .275/.337/.454/.791, resulting in an average of 5.6 runs per game. Conversely, Kirby has struggled on the road with a 5.35 ERA and allowing eight home runs in seven starts. Considering the past successes of KC batters like Bobby Witt Jr. and Nelson Velazquez against Kirby, Kansas City is poised to win Sunday's game.
