The Mariners think they are still in the wild card hunt which is why Jerry Dipoto went out and traded for Mike Leake on August 30th. However, they are 3 games back of the Angels and 4 games out of a wild card spot. Impossible? Nope. Unlikely? Probably. Or at least - let’s hope so.
In 2017, the Angels are 9-4 against the Mariners and to keep pace with the Twins and Yankees (who currently hold the top wild card spots), they need to keep up their winning ways against Dipoto’s team.
