After marching to their longest postseason stay in franchise history in 2025, reaching Game 7 of the ALCS before falling one game short of the World Series, the Mariners have been one of MLB’s most disappointing teams this year. Forget the World Series; Seattle is dangerously close to falling out of the playoff race altogether.
With a tough schedule looming throughout the rest of August, Seattle entered Tuesday with a 56–63 record, 4 1/2 games out of the AL West lead and four games back from the AL’s final wild-card spot.
