Predicting the Seattle Mariners final 10 series of 2022
Seattle’s most giving trade partner comes over 2 games
The last team the Seattle Mariners will face with a winning record on the season will be a quick 2 game series against San Diego. The Padres have a lot of stars but not a lot of chemistry.
Talent is important, but team chemistry is also important, and if a team has both, then they have the makings for magic. Splitting this series should keep the Mariners in a strong position to end the postseason drought.
Getting away for a nine-day road trip to visit Los Angeles, Oakland, and Kansas City
All teams with losing records, all teams that the Seattle Mariners have had some issues with this season. The M’s are 8-7 against the Angels, but some of that was without Trout. It could be an even more competitive series now that LAA’s superstar is healthy.
Against Oakland, the Mariners are 8-5. Aside from this series, Seattle will also play the Athletics at home for the second to last series of the season. Oakland gutted their team once again.
Their talent level is way down, and they could finish with the worst record in baseball. It won’t be a cakewalk; for some reason, they always play the M’s well in August.
The Mariners and Kansas City have only squared off for three games this season. Seattle won all three despite giving up 12 runs and going to extra-innings once. They also faced Kansas City before the Royals called up the rest of their rookie crew, including Nick Pratto.
The Seattle Mariners should win six of these nine games because their pitching is at an entirely different level than these also-ran opponents. Anything less than five wins in these nine games would significantly hurt the Mariner’s postseason aspirations.
