On May 18 the Tigers were 27-12, had just swept the Orioles and Red Sox (both on the road), and had the best record in baseball. since then, they are 11-20, and only the Rays and the Rockies have been worse. They've also allowed the most runs in the MLB in that span (179). | ||

For the first time in a long time, hyped about the Seattle Mariners. Over .500, young team, still in playoff contention, feels good. Go with family to see a Mariners game, think: nothing can go wrong, this team is on the upswing Mariners get one hit Lose 5-0 Buy a Mariners baseball cap | ||

It seems like a lot of pundits think Seattle is over performing TBF it's a toss-up right now. Seattle's biggest issue is that they're so inconsistent, in that all of their players show flashes of greatness but they never sync up. There are a few members of their lineup that are most likely over performing, but they also have multiple underrated players like Seager and Zunino. They have an upcoming series with Oakland right before the All-Star break, and I think they're going to likely judge how they want to treat the trade deadline from that series. I think it's likely that they strike while the iron is hot and gun for the Wild Card. | ||
