Overview

• Seattle’s division magic number is three, meaning any combination of Mariners wins and Astros losses totaling three secures the AL West.
• The Mariners could clinch as soon as Wednesday night based on remaining schedules and results elsewhere.
• Seattle swept Houston over the weekend to build a three-game division lead entering the final six games.
• The Mariners host the 43-113 Rockies for three games before the Dodgers, with Colorado carrying the worst run differential recorded since 1900.
• The Astros are now tied with the Guardians for the final AL wild-card spot, and Carlos Correa said of the sweep, “They were just better.”
