Seattle Mariners 2021 Season – Over/Under
Just for fun
These questions are just for fun. The writers were asked for their prediction anything else is voluntary.
Scott Servais wins 50 percent of his challenges
Chip Clark – Under. He’s 75-83 since he took over in 2016 with one season over 50 percent.
Chris Phillips – Over. Umm, I have No idea. The coin flip says over.
Ed Stein – Under. Servais isn’t good at challenges.
Joe Swenson – Over. I see this happening less and less.
Herb Nightengale – Over.
Most wins by a Mariners pitcher – 14.5
Chip Clark – Over. One of Gonzales, Paxton, Sheffield wins 15 games.
Chis Phillips – Under. MLB wins are fickle. King Felix had many good seasons, but other M’s pitchers ended up with more wins.
Ed Stein – Over. Either Gonzales or Paxton wins 15.
Joe Swenson – Over. Marco should get to 16-18 wins.
Herb Nightengale – Over.
Positions played by Dylan Moore – 6.5
Chip Clark – Under. He’s played seven positions in each of the last two seasons, but not again in 2021. It won’t be because Dylan Moore is the regular second baseman. Haniger, Taylor Trammell, and Kelenic are better centerfielders than Moore. Unless the team gets rocked by injuries, it’s hard to see him playing there.
Chris Phillips – Over. It’s because of injury or slump, either by him or another player.
Ed Stein – Under. There’s no reason for it with this roster.
Joe Swenson – Under. He’ll be the primary second baseman. There isn’t a real need to play him elsewhere with France and possibly Sam Haggerty making the team.
Herb Nightengale – Under.
Non-DH starts by Ty France – 81
Chip Clark – Over. Injuries happen. The best-laid plans get torn up over 162 games.
Chris Phillips – Over. See Dylan Moore above. I think Moore has to move to another position to play in the field, and France steps into the second base spot.
Ed Stein – Under. If everyone is healthy, France should DH almost 100 games.
Joe Swenson – Under. Haniger and Seager seem likely to hit at DH this season, but most of the games will be DH’d by France.
Herb Nightengale – Over.
Number of Seattle Mariners selected to 2021 All-Star Game – 1.5
Chip Clark – Under. There will be enough deserving M’s. It’s that the team doesn’t get respect from fans, other teams, or MLB.
Chris Phillips – Over. I can confidently say three, possibly four. Kyle Lewis, Mitch Haniger, Jarred Kelenic, and maybe Marco Gonzales head to Atlanta for the ASG.
Ed Stein – Under. This team is greater than the sum of its parts.
Joe Swenson – Over.
Herb Nightengale – Over
