The Mariners offense might be finally starting to show some signs of life over the last week. They roughed up a very good Marlins pitching staff earlier this week and hit well against the Angels last weekend despite the disappointing results in the win-loss column. The White Sox will always be the bad guys in my head, a disposition ingrained in me thanks to the 1994 classic Angels in the Outfield. They’re in town for a three-game series this weekend.

When the White Sox won the AL Central back in 2021, it seemed like they were poised to command that division for the foreseeable future.
