The Seattle Mariners are very clearly a much better team than we all originally thought at the beginning of the season.
This is a team that essentially checks all the boxes.
They have a great lineup, a nasty starting rotation, a strong bullpen, and a good defense.
That’s pretty much the complete package right there.
Not to mention, they’re hot at the right time.
This might just be a team of destiny.
It’s a special group with a ton of talent that is playing great baseball.
An MLB analyst on Twitter gave an honest assessment about the team and how nobody should want to play them in a playoff series right now.
There is not a team in baseball that wants to play the Seattle Mariners in a playoff series right now.
Starting pitching. Bullpen. Defense. And they are hot right now.
They check all the boxes.

Look Out For Seattle
When you think about teams you don’t want to play in October, the Mariners may not be the first team that comes to mind.
The first teams you probably think of are the New York Mets, Atlanta Braves, Los Angeles Dodgers, Houston Astros, and St. Louis Cardinals.
But Seattle is everybody’s favorite underdog right now.
They’re playing loose and relaxed and doing so under the radar.
But whether you want to believe it or not, this team is a World Series contender.
They’re hungry to finally snap their streak of 20 consecutive seasons without reaching the postseason.
The last time they made it was in 2001, when they won 116 games.
But this team is built different than recent Mariners teams.
The Mariners have a little bit of everything as we move closer to the postseason in what should be an exciting couple of weeks.
The city of Seattle is buzzing with excitement right now, as it should be, and the Mariners are a team you do not want to face in October.
