The Seattle Mariners are now 1-4 in one-run games, territory they’ve scarcely occupied in recent memory. Throughout the entire Jerry Dipoto era, the Mariners are a statistical marvel, a club that won “coin flip games” 57.3% of the time between 2016-2022. Not only has Seattle played the most one-run games in that time (330, compared to a median of 283 and a bottom of 254), but they have the best winning percentage of any MLB club in that seven year stretch, with their .573 clip equivalent to a 92.8 win pace over a full season.
