There are quite a few scenarios that can play out over the next week in determining the Mariners' postseason fate.
SEATTLE — Although the Mariners wereover the weekend in a crucial series, a playoff spot is still within reach for Seattle as the final week of the Major League Baseball regular season gets underway.
Entering Monday's games, the Mariners trail the Rangers by three games in the American League West and are behind the Astros by a half-game in the AL Wild Card race.Simply put, the Mariners need to win a majority of their games over the final week of the season in order to maintain a shot at the postseason. If the Mariners can win at least two of the next three games against Houston, Seattle will control its own destiny for the final AL Wild Card spot.
As long as the Mariners then fared better in their final four games than Houston, Seattle would be a lock for at least the third and final Wild Card spot. The Mariners could even secure the second Wild Card spot if the Toronto Blue Jays -- who are 2.5 games ahead of the Mariners as of Monday -- stumble in their final week of games.
