The Kansas City Royals (25-17) and Seattle Mariners (22-19) will open up a three-game MLB series at T-Mobile Park on Monday.
The Royals are showing every sign that they aren't a fluke, and instead a quality baseball team now. The weeks go by and the Royals remain several games above .500. The Royals would be a playoff side if the season curtails today. Not only that, but they have a cushion of a few games in the race for a playoff spot.
The Mariners, meanwhile, are just 22-19 through 41 games. They are a few games worse than the Royals in mid-May, something not many predicted at the start of the season. The Mariners haven't been bad, but they haven't excelled, either.
Here, GOAL brings you all the information you need to know about this MLB game, including how to watch, team news and head-to-head results.
