There's little denying this Seattle Mariners team was extremely streaky during the regular season, both for better and worse. As much fun as the eight- and 10-game winning streaks were, they were (stressfully) balanced out with a couple of five-game losing streaks, with the second one being part of seven consecutive road losses.
As a result of this up-and-down nature, there are Mariners fans out there who might be feeling a little nervous about the team's upcoming trip through the playoffs. The concern being that as hot as the players can get, they can just as easily suddenly go cold, thus leading to a potential prompt exit from the postseason.
