Game 1: Seattle Mariners (-112) vs. Kansas City Royals, 8:15 p.m. EST

The Mariners have the best record in baseball right now, and the Royals don't exactly pose the biggest threat, as they've started 2-6 this season. Felix Hernandez (1-0, 1.69 ERA) is making the start for the Mariners on Monday night, and the Royals are hitting .239 against him in his career.

Félix Hernández, who turns 33 today, knows the blueprint for how he now needs to attack hitters. He showed us last week.
But will he continue to follow that plan?

Virginia has the No. 1 scoring defense in the nation, allowing 55.5 points per game (PPG) this season, which is 3.3 points less than Texas Tech's defense, which ranks No. 3 in the country.
