The Seattle Mariners concluded their 2024 season with an 85-77 record, narrowly missing the playoffs by one game. Despite a quiet offseason, the Mariners have started strong in 2025, currently leading the division with a 17-12 record and only one game behind the American League's best record.

Unlike other teams that have capitalized on weaker opponents, Seattle has faced one of the toughest schedules in the league, indicating that their success thus far may be legitimate. According to Baseball Reference, the Mariners are given a solid chance of winning the World Series. Key to their ambitions will be the performance of superstar outfielder Julio Rodríguez and the health of their starting rotation.
