The Mariners are no strangers to unlikely odds, their few achievements often coming after improbable comebacks late in the season, and here again they find themselves so far behind their opposition as to seem impossible. The number of games between the Mariners and the first place team seems insurmountable, not to mention the teams already between them and their target, who would also have to be passed. I won’t sugar coat things - the chances of the Mariners bridging that gap are almost non-existent. They’ve performed well in the month of August, going 2-7, but they’ll need a miracle to catch up to the first-place Tigers.
