The Mariners’ fortunes have reversed in a rather startling way since the last time the Astros faced off against them, having fallen from near the top of the division to the very bottom. While this isn’t indicative of where Seattle will end the season, finding themselves 9 games under .500 at this point after the expectations of improvement the team had this winter has to be rather galling for their fans.
Seattle has only won won one series since April 24th when they slapped the Royals around. That one series win was against the Mets though, the first time that NY was handed a series loss in 2022, but other than that it’s been nothing but rough seas for the M’s.
