The Seattle Mariners are in second place in the AL West and have one of the wild-card spots in the American League.

Seattle finished the 2024 season with an 85-77 record, which was good enough for second place in the AL West, but not good enough to make the postseason.

The Mariners had a quiet offseason. Seattle signed veteran first baseman Donovan Solano and re-signed second baseman Jorge Polanco.

Seattle also extended all-star catcher Cal Raleigh to a six-year $105 million contract.

The Mariners’ offense has been up and down, led by Raleigh, Julio Rodriguez, J.P. Crawford and Randy Arozarena.

Seattle is inside the top five for home runs and the top half of the league for on-base percentage, slugging percentage and RBIs. Despite Seattle being towards the top of the league for many hitting metrics, the Mariners are in the bottom half of the league for batting average and are in the bottom five for strikeouts.

The Mariners’ pitching has been solid this season, led by Bryan Woo, Luis Castillo, and Logan Gilbert.

Seattle is in the top 10 for strikeouts and the top half of the league for walks and hits per inning pitched (WHIP), ERA and batting average allowed.

A significant factor in Seattle’s success has been Raleigh. He has the most home runs and RBIs in the major leagues this season, and he’s currently the front-runner to win the American League MVP at -130 odds.

Seattle was very active during the trade deadline. The Mariners traded for third baseman Eugenio Suárez and first baseman Josh Naylor from the Arizona Diamondbacks. The two were dealt in separate deals, but both players will provide production offensively.

Suárez has 36 home runs this season, and the second most RBIs, only behind his teammate Raleigh.

The Mariners also traded for reliever Caleb Ferguson from the Pittsburgh Pirates. This season, Ferguson has a 3.65 ERA with a 1.06 WHIP.

Seattle is in a great position to make the postseason; the only question is whether the team can go on a run. With a solid offense and a strong pitching staff, Seattle has the tools to make a postseason run, but it will be challenging, as the American League is loaded with talent this season.
