Seattle Mariners are better than you think they are

Seattle is .500 and is one of the only teams with a lower OPS this year than last. The Perception among fans is that Mariners are doing worse. Their record says it’s not true.
Yes, they have been sluggish offensive (but not very far off), and some key contributors struggled. On the other hand, Mariners pitchers are having a way better year than last year.
The good news is Texas probably won’t continue to win 63% of their games all season, the bad news is Houston is still very good. The Seattle Mariners are in a good position and are a hot streak away from making a run and haven’t gotten much from some key contributors.
All in all, the Seattle Mariners fortunes look better than we think. And they should get even better as summer approaches.
