Seattle Mariners vs Kansas City Royals Picks and Predictions May 1st 2026

May 1, 2026 By Scores And Stats | MLB

The Kansas City Royals head to T-Mobile Park on Friday night to face the Seattle Mariners, with first pitch scheduled for 9:45 p.m. ET. Kansas City enters at 12-19 and sitting fifth in the AL Central, while Seattle is 16-16 and second in the AL West. The Mariners have been the better current-form side, winning two straight and going 7-3 over their last 10. This is also a pretty clean market setup. Seattle is priced as the favorite at home, and the total is sitting low at 7.0, which makes sense given the park, the roof factor, and the starting pitching matchup. The Mariners have been stronger on the mound overall, but Kansas City is not completely without a path

All things considered, Texas Rangers manager Skip Schumaker appears pleased with his team's performance heading into May. The Rangers are 15-16 as they begin a three-game series against the host Detroit Tigers on Friday. Texas snapped a three-game losing streak and concluded its nine-game homestand with a 3-0 win over the New York Yankees on Wednesday. Detroit beat the host Atlanta Braves 5-2 on Thursday to avoid a three-game sweep. Rangers outfielder Wyatt Langford missed the past eight games with a strained right forearm, but Schumaker said he could return as soon as this weekend. Even with Langford sidelined and star shortstop Corey Seager off to a slow start, Schumaker believes his team is trending in the right direction. "I
