Well Paxton has been a beast and the offense has been way better than expected. I don't see how they win a playoff round with the current rotation but I they have the weakest schedule of any of the teams in the wild card hunt so they have a good shot of getting in. Now of course because they're the Mariners, they'll either run into an even worse case of the injury bug than earlier this season or find some other way to blow it down the stretch.
