The Seattle Mariners have had an up and down season in 2020, but the odds of them making the MLB postseason and winning the AL West Division are still very much alive.
The Mariners currently sit at 22-26, which puts them in third place in the AL West Division. While they are currently behind the Oakland Athletics and Houston Astros, they are only three games out of first place. This means that if the Mariners can go on a winning streak, they could easily find themselves in first place in the division.
The Mariners have been playing better as of late, winning five of their last seven games. This includes a three-game sweep of the Los Angeles Angels, which was a big boost for the team. The Mariners have also been getting good production from their starting pitchers, with Marco Gonzales and Yusei Kikuchi both having strong seasons so far.
The Mariners also have a favorable schedule down the stretch. They have a series against the Texas Rangers coming up, which could be a great opportunity for them to gain some ground in the division. They also have a series against the struggling Angels, which could be another chance to make up some ground.
The odds of the Mariners making the postseason and winning the AL West Division are still very much alive. With a favorable schedule and some good pitching performances, the Mariners could easily find themselves in first place in the division. If they can keep playing at a high level, there is no reason why they can’t make a run at the postseason.
