Series Preview: Mariners (18-27) vs. Astros (29-16)

Things were already pretty bad so it’s hard to say they’re about to get worse, but the Mariners will go from a three-game series against the A’s that should have been a cakewalk to a weekend series against the Astros. This is the point in the season where it would be appropriate to remind you that the 2019 Washington Nationals were 19-31 on May 24. But even that kind of hopeful platitude rings hollow for Mariners. A single win in this series would feel like a victory at this point.
