Entering play on Wednesday, the Seattle Mariners have 61 percent playoff odds, according to Fangraphs.
The M’s currently lead the chase for the third and final wild card spot by 1.5 games over the Los Angeles Angels and 2.5 games over the Boston Red Sox and Texas Rangers, and they are looking for their first playoff appearance since the 2022 campaign.
Though the M’s aren’t always pretty at 44-41, ESPN MLB Insider Buster Olney believes they are readying to separate in the playoff race. He said the following to the Refuse to Lose podcast on Monday night before game one of a four-game series against the Kansas City Royals.
It’s kind of messy right now. I mean, the Red Sox have got all kinds of issues, since the Rafael Devers trade. I just saw the Twins, they’re reeling, really. since Pablo Lopez went down with the shoulder injury that he had. The Guardians have not been hitting at all. The Royals continue to struggle to find offense among their outfielders. I’ve put it this way to you before, and I’ll say it again. If I wanted one of these teams problems going forward, it would be the Mariners. Like, I feel like that they’re gathering momentum, and at some point, they could define themselves, separate themselves from that group.
