We now even control our own destiny for #2 pick. Tied in lots column with royals with 1 more against them. 3 behind Cleveland with 3 against them. Could be a very big final series of the season.
Think I got covid and have been sleeping for the last 30 hours.... Pleasant surprise to wake up to. An Astros win! A Seattle loss!
Since Mariners Acquisision: Arozarena: .241 .379 .389 .768 Robles: .299 .357 .439 .797 Turner: .235 .330 .358 .688 Mariners record: 13-15
20 If the Astros go 13-12 (88-74) the rest of the way: 1) The Mariners must go 19-6. 2) If the Astros win 2 of 3 vs them, the Mariners must go 18-4 in the other 22 games. If the Mariners go 15-4 leading up to the series between them, the Astros will just need to go 10-9 to still have the division lead and will clinch the division w/ a sweep. It's looking more and more like the Mariners are broken, and I love it.
I think once Tucker returns, the Astros will have a 12-5 stretch at some point, and finish with 91 wins. Seattle won't be within 8 games by season's end. Current record -- 75-62 25 games remaining --16-9 Final record -- 91-71
Mariners would have to finish 20-5 to reach 89 wins. I doubt they will be within 8 games by season's end. 90+ wins by the Astros gives a legit chance at a 1st round bye.
