With nearly every other AL Wild Card contender struggling right now, the Mariners have picked a great time to put together their strongest stretch of play this season. They’ve moved ahead of Toronto after their series win in Buffalo last week and leapfrogged Cleveland over the weekend. They’re now just 3.5 games behind the A’s for the second Wild Card spot. Is this success sustainable? None of the playoff odds models think it is; FiveThirtyEight is the most bullish, giving the M’s a 9% chance of making the playoffs; FanGraphs (2.4%) and Baseball Prospectus (1.8%) are much more skeptical. Still, if the results keep coming, the Mariners could find themselves in the odd position of being buyers before the trade deadline.

There’s a saying in my family: “No Whining on the Yacht.” Not that we have a yacht, obviously; it’s more of a reminder to count your blessings and be grateful for what you do have, because somewhere out there is someone who has it worse. Mariners fans have had plenty to complain about this season, but a visit from the last-place Twins, who were projected by several outlets to win their division or at the very least be involved in a thrilling two- or three-team race with the White Sox and Cleveland, might be a good reminder that there’s no whining in T-Mobile Park, however tempting it might be.
