This is it. If the Mariners are serious about making some noise in the Wild Card race in September, this series is where it’ll all come together or fall apart. Four games to prove they’re able to rise to the challenge. Four games to turn their season one way or another. While it certainly feels like the Mariners entire season hinges on this four-game set in Oakland, they’ll still have 25 games left after this. But considering their current position in the standings, anything less than a series win almost certainly puts the second Wild Card spot out of reach.
