3 storylines to watch over the last month of the season

We are almost there, ladies and gentlemen. There is about a month left in the season, and the Mariners are running out of time to make a push for the playoffs. They finally made the call to shake things up by firing both their manager, Scott Servais, and their hitting coach, Jarret DeHart. Taking their places are longtime fan-favorites Dan Wilson and Edgar Martinez. While Edgar has been a coach before, this is all new to Wilson but he was still able to earn a series win against the Giants.

It's not the only storyline that was worth watching at the end of 2024 for the Mariners, though. There are more items than just a changing of the guard for Seattle, and they are ones that could determine whether or not this team is able to fight back against the Astros and take the division from them... which we will talk about in-depth a little later.

Strength of schedule, divisional games, old-and-new rivalries... they're all going to play a part in how 2024 plays out for the M's. While the Mariners still have a handful of games left in August, the first storyline is one worth thinking about today as we are going to see it implemented within the next week.
