It’s been a rough week for the Seattle Mariners organization. You’d be forgiven if you didn’t really want to think about baseball right now, but there are games to be played. Beyond the terrible off-field matters, the Mariners are now just a game ahead of the Athletics in the Wild Card race. The A’s have actually surpassed the Mariners in playoff odds per FiveThirtyEight and Baseball Prospectus. The only place the Mariners continue to hold an advantage is on FanGraphs. Even if you think Oakland is playing way over their heads, the Mariners need to make some sort of adjustments to stay ahead in the race.
Series Preview: Mariners (61-41) at Angels (52-52)
