SEATTLE — Never tell the Mariners the odds.
At least that was the case all last season. Seemed every time you looked up at the standings, they'd be a game or two outside the final wild-card spot, yet still — the computer formula always said they had less than a 5% chance to reach the postseason.
In the end, the machines got it right, but the M's were still relevant up to the final game of the year. Any chance they can rediscover such relevance?
