The Oakland A’s technically aren’t out of the 2021 postseason race yet, though their odds are effectively zero now. One reason for that low standing is that they’ve gone 4-12 against the Seattle Mariners this year.
They’ll get one final chance for the last laugh against the Mariners this week, with three games at T-Mobile Park. Seattle is one game above Oakland in the Wild Card race, so while their own odds are also low at under 10%, the A’s can spoil them the rest of the way by winning some games in this series.
However, in the opener Monday, the green-and-gold will have to do it without two of their key hitters.
