That stat is crazy no doubt. One thing to note though is that when the Mariners lose this year they LOSE. Like 14-2 type of losses. Wins are 2-3 runs typically with not many blow outs.

Doesn't that say a lot about their depth and overall talent in the bullpen?
Bullpens are chaotic for almost every team. One year they will be good, the next they are terrible. The Mariners have a couple of guys having great seasons out of the pen that had been horrible their entire career before this year.

Bullpen volatility is real.
That said, Dipoto seems to have a knack for cheaply identifying bullpen parts who have the potential to turn things around. For just one example. Joe Smith was absolutely awful in 21 innings for Houston this year. He's been really good in 18 years since the M's basically picked him up as a spare part in the Graveman/Toro trade.
The M's pen has been the strength of the team nearly every year he's been here.

Tied for wild card lead going into weekend
M’s got exactly what they needed last night. Blue Jays get the Orioles for their last series, but anything can happen.

The real injustice this season is that the team with the 2nd best record in all of baseball will be in a one game playoff.
This should never ever happen
If the Dodgers lose in the one game playoff I expect some format grumbling to take place.
An 6 team playoff is better with this format or go back to the 4 game format.
You cannot have a 100+ win team in a single game playoff in any circumstance IMO. Even if it’s once a decade
Division winner with the order record is a 3 seed. Give the high seeds 5 days off to rest
Best of 3
3 vs 6
4 vs 5
Best of 5
4/5 vs 1
3/6 vs 2
Best of 7

I dig the idea of three game series and six teams. Just let the higher seed host all three and make it quick. The one game playoff is exciting but I don't like it either and not just because a team with 103+ wins is getting stuck with it.
Or just go to four teams and the wildcard game only happens if there's a tie.

This. One game play in wild card games are fucking stupid.
LA radio is not happy with the prospect of the one game playoff
PLAYOFFS?
PLAYOFFS?
I was there
Back in the day, the 102+ wins Dodgers wouldn’t even have made the playoffs. It’s unlucky for them, but part of the game. I don’t hate it.
Why the fuck is root sports so twash. Any of you young whipper snappers know how I can watch this shit?
