Predicting the Seattle Mariners final 10 series of 2022
Cramming 10 home games into 9 days against Texas, Oakland, and Detroit
Hopefully, the Seattle Mariners have locked up a postseason berth by the time the last ten games of the season start. Depending on where they sit, manager Scott Servais may be able to set up his rotation for the first round of the playoffs as well as rest some regulars.
Seattle has absolutely owned Texas this season to the tune of 12-4. With Seattle’s pitching, this should remain the case when they face off in late September. We already covered Oakland.
Finally, Detroit really struggled at home against the Mariners. They face off for four games in three days series during the first week of October. Seattle owns Detroit in every single offensive and pitching category and should win three of four at a minimum.
Overall it would be disappointing if the Mariners walk away from the homestand .500 or worse in the ten games.
Time to add it all up and see the final results
If we take the assumptions made at the end of each section, the Seattle Mariners would end up 17-14 at worse in the final 31 games. That’s the worst-case scenario. At 17-14, the Mariners would finish the season 90-72 for the second straight season. This time 90 wins seem very close to a lock to clinch a playoff spot.
The M’s are 35-17 since July 1 and have a .673 winning percentage. If that percentage holds for the rest of the season, and there’s a really good chance it does, then the Seattle Mariners would go 21-10 and finish 94-68. and That will be more than enough to clinch a playoff spot and be the second-highest win percentage in club history.
