We've done this over the last couple of years, and it's a fun way to get a look at what some of the staff here at Sodo Mojo are thinking. We can make all the predictions, guesses and estimates, and prognostications that we want, but in the end there is only one (explanded) prediction that truly matters. What will the Mariners record be at the end of the season, and when does their season end?
We ended up with eight people here at Sodo preenting their predictions for what they think that the Mariners are going to do this season. Not only that, but everyone threw in a little blurb about how they think the Mariners are going to do, maybe some highlights of how they get there, and what the inevitable downfall is for the team in 2024.
It's more than that, though. We asked you, dear reader, what your thoughts were as well. The results were quite positive, which is a surprise when you think about the negativity that can be Mariners Twitter/X.
I was pleasantly surprised to see that 87.4% of you thought that the Mariners would have 86 or more wins on the season. 86 is that window where they are going to be in playoff/Wild Card range at the end of the year. Even the 42.6% that picked 91 or more are essentially saying that this is a legit playoff team.
After seeing that, we decided to ask you for your predictions on the season. We grabbed a couple of them to put in this article, and I've interspersed them throughout. We start with the worst record predictions and work our way up. How do the collective we feel about the season? Let's get to it.
