The Mariners host the Cleveland Guardians for the first time this season (and technically the first time ever, since the last time these two teams faced each other during the regular season Cleveland’s team wasn’t called the Guardians). It’s a four game series in late August between a team holding their division lead by a handful of games and a team sitting in the last wild card spot; the baseball matters. To make things even more interesting, if the season ended today, these two teams would meet up in the Wild Card round, though the three-game playoff series would be played in Cleveland since they’d be the higher seed.
Series Preview: Mariners (67-57) vs. Guardians (66-56)
