The Mariners have been one of the most surprising teams in the MLB this season and they are currently in the second wild card spot as the schedule picks up. The MLB.com website has this game for free and it has Robinson Cano and the M's looking to stay hot, as they have won 15 of the last 20 games and are pushing towards the playoffs.
Cano has been everything the Mariners have needed and he has helped along players like Dustin Ackley and Kyle Seager and now those names have started to turn into solid players and they are some of the reasons why the Mariners are where they are now. The team has been getting some fantastic pitching and Felix Hernandez looks like he will be winning the Cy Young and the bullpen has also been great, putting up a sub 2.50 ERA this season.
The team is killing it in the pitching department and since the trade deadline they have been hitting much better. The team added Austin Jackson and Chris Denorfia along with Kendrys Morales and the signing of Fernando Rodney in the offseason has looked very good on Jack Z as well. The team is pushing towards the playoffs, which is a place the team has not been since back in 2001 and they are desperate to get back.
The Mariners have been scoring more since the trade deadline and they come into the game ranked first in the MLB in WHIP, BAA as well as ERA on the season. The hitting has been coming around and the play of Cano has been stellar and now the team has the chance to really make a move in the wild card race if they can keep winning. The two teams behind them are playing each other in the Yankees and Tigers and that means someone is going to lose.
