Even though the Mariners lost their weekend series in Anaheim, they gained a game on both the Athletics and the Astros. The A’s were swept in Colorado, scoring just four runs in three games while the Astros scored just eight runs in their three-game series against the Rangers at home. It’s pretty fortuitous that both of the main challengers to the Mariners postseason hopes are stumbling into August. With less than 24 hours until the trade deadline, we’ll see if these three teams stay the same by the end of this series.
Series Preview: Mariners (62-43) vs. Astros (67-40)
