The Seattle Mariners are seemingly in a good position, but you only need to look back to last year to not take anything for granted.
The Seattle Mariners are on a roll right now, winning six of seven since the trade deadline. Although you can make the case that the convincing road sweep of the at-the-time MLB-best Detroit Tigers provided the genesis for a run which has seen the M's go 15-8 in their past 23 games.
In any event the Mariners enter their weekend home series versus the Tampa Bay Rays sitting pretty in the standings.
