With the addition of Chase Headley to the Mariners lineup, and late-season call-ups of James Paxton and Taijuan Walker, the Mariners will catch fire in the month of September and grab one of the wild-card spots in the American League.
With how things are shaking out, the Mariners will most likely be competing with the Red Sox, Yankees, Orioles, Indians, A's and Angels for two wild-card spots.The Red Sox lack pitching outside the duo of Jon Lester and Clay Buchholz, the Yankees can't stay healthy, the Indians lack pitching depth in general and the Orioles, A's and Angels all have their flaws as well, so why can't Seattle make a run?
Remember, nobody thought at any point that the Athletics had a shot in 2012, yet there they were at the end of the season sitting on top of the AL West. Seattle has the pieces to be able to make a run like that happen; it's just a matter of if and when they can put it all together.
