Mariners Will Make The ALCS

With Garrett Richards back, and no more slow starts, the Angels will once again finish with the best record in the American League at 101-61.

Seattle’s 92-70 record will be good for the first Wild Card and they will defeat the Detroit Tigers in the Wild Card game to make the ALDS.

Against the Angels, a team that the Mariners finished 10-7 against this year, the Mariners’ pitching will outplay the Angels’ hitting on the way to a 3-2 series win.

The Mariners will go up against a Baltimore Orioles team that took five out of seven from the M’s this year and not be able to keep up. Mariners will fall 4 games to 2.

It will be a ride I have been waiting my entire adult life for.
