Mariners v. Tigers: 3 Up, 3 Down

The Mariners come off of an up-and-down series against the Tigers sitting at 10-13, good for last in the AL West. After a miserable first game of the series, they bounced back to get series win.

This weekend the Mariners will play, what is in my opinion, a make-or-break series against the Cleveland Indians. If they can take two of three or even sweep, they’ll be right back in it. However,  if they drop the series or get swept, 10-16 is a scarily deep hole to have to climb out of.

Seattle has to put the pieces together quickly. There is a lot of talent on the team, and they need to be firing on all cylinders by the time everyone gets healthy, so that they can have some momentum rolling into the second half of the season.

The future aside, we’re here to look at the last series. In the series the Mariners got outscored 20-19, but outhit Detroit 38-32. In all the confusion, we’re going to look at three positives and negatives. This is 3 Up, 3 Down.
