Seattle Mariners
For 18 years after the Mariners franchise was founded, it failed to qualify for the postseason.
Then, in 1995, four teams from each league made the playoffs instead of just two. For the first time in franchise history, Seattle qualified.
It followed that inaugural playoff season with three more appearances over the next five years.
Since then, the Mariners have not been back to the playoffs — a 20-year drought.
Then perhaps it is only fitting that this season, with the playoff field expanded from five teams to six, the Mariners are on track to qualify once again.
Seattle entered Thursday second in the Wild Card standings, from which three playoff teams will emerge, 1.5 games ahead of Toronto, which is two full games ahead of Baltimore.
The M’s go for a three-game sweep in Detroit, which would run their overall winning streak to four. That game began at 1, which will allow the team to get into Cleveland for dinner time.
Cleveland Guardians
The Guardians are in action on Thursday, too. They host Baltimore for the rubber match of a three-game series.
The Orioles won, 4–0, Thursday behind Jordan Lyles, who has now won double-digit games in consecutive seasons.
Lyles threw 6.2 innings of shutout baseball, despite walking more batters (3) than he struck out (2).
He gave up just four hits and Cleveland mustered just five as a team. Jose Ramirez and Ahmed Rosario each had two and Richie Palacios one.
Palacios, the nephew of Rey Palacios, who played three seasons for the Royals from 1988-90, made his MLB debut earlier this year and caught my eye but has looked bad at the plate since.
He doesn’t have an extra-base hit since the middle of June. He did miss about a month in there but the production has been poor for a guy who DHs and plays outfield against right-handed starting pitchers.
Cleveland’s offense will have stinkers like it did Wednesday against Lyle but the pitching and defense is terrific and the bats typically find a way to come back the next night have put a few more runs on the board.

Seattle Mariners vs. Cleveland Guardians MLB Prediction:
This should be a terrific series between two teams that have a lot to gain by winning two out of three.
Look for the Guards to strike first with Seattle just a bit road weary.
