Mariners Boost Playoff Hopes After Win

The Seattle Mariners' playoff hopes have been buoyed by recent wins, including a 6-1 victory over the Astros that improved their playoff odds to 12%. Despite trailing the Astros and facing stiff competition, their best chance remains a wild-card berth with a 9.6% probability. Cal Raleigh has been a key player, hitting his 31st home run of the season and contributing significantly in recent games. However, the Mariners must win most of their remaining games and hope for favorable outcomes from other teams like the Twins, Tigers, and Royals. The Mariners lack tiebreakers against their competitors, making their path to the playoffs challenging but not impossible.
