Could 2025 be the year that the Seattle Mariners finally have postseason success? They are certainly due. The franchise has been to the playoffs just once since 2001, and they have never played in a World Series.
Through the season’s first two months, the M’s have shown promise. They enter this series leading the competitive AL West by half a game with a 32-26 record. But their position is tenuous. They led the division by 3.5 games just 10 days ago, fell to half a game behind the Astros over the weekend, and after two walk-off wins they are clinging to the slimmest of advantages.
