Seattle's ALDS plans hinge on Bryan Woo's health after inflammation sidelined him. Kirby, Gilbert, and Castillo are trusted anchors, while the fourth starter figures to be Bryce Miller, Emerson Hancock, or Logan Evans. Postseason rosters must be locked in advance, so Seattle can't easily wiggle if Woo isn't cleared.

The Tigers are the opponent in a best-of-five that starts with an 8:38 p.m. ET first pitch, and Seattle's decision-making will shape innings, bullpen usage, and fantasy outlook for this playoff run.

Seattle rode a balanced attack to a 6-1 win over Colorado, with Eugenio Suárez delivering a two-run shot early as Bradley Blalock labored through 3 2/3 innings. Emerson Hancock piled up a career-high seven strikeouts in four frames, and the bullpen steadied the struggling Rockies.

Colorado mustered two late runs but went 2-for-9 with runners in scoring position. Zach Agnos returned to the mound, and questions loom for 2026 as Germán Márquez and company prepare for a final series in San Francisco.

Seattle clinched the AL West and locked in home-field for the Division Series after a 6-2 win that featured Eugenio Suárez’s 49th homer and an RBI single to push his season RBI total to a career-best 117. Cal Raleigh’s climb toward 60 homers energized the night as Seattle stretched a seven-game win streak and 17 of 18. Colorado’s September slide deepened, while Seattle’s rotation and bullpen savor playoff positioning with a schedule ahead against strong competition.
