As much as we’d like to get right back into Mariners baseball after a thrilling series win in New York, they, like all of us, need their rest - today is a much-needed off day before kicking off a four-game set with the Mike Trout-less Angels. Thankfully, the rest of the league has not stopped. As it stands, while the Blue Jays have a two-game lead on the first wild card spot, the Mariners hold WC2 by one game over the Rays. The Guardians, Orioles, White Sox, and Red Sox are all within three games of that final slot, and with all six of those teams going tonight, there’s plenty to keep an eye on across five games this fine Thursday evening.
