After such a strong start to the season in April, the Mariners are now on the verge of finishing with a record under .500 in May. They’ve gone 4-6 since the Vedder Cup sweep and vibes have taken a turn for the worse. You can point to pretty much every aspect of the roster and see regression from the first month of the season: the offense has fallen from a 125 wRC+ in April to just 100 in May and the starters have gone from an 88 FIP- to 104 this month. The team’s true talent probably lies somewhere in between the extremes over these two months, but the highs of April make May’s valley seem particularly deep.
