Logan Gilbert reveals the importance of the Mariners' first-round bye
The Seattle Mariners have clinched the American League West for the first time since their historic 2001 season. Their 90-72 record gave them the No. 2 seed in the AL and a bye in the Wild Card.
Seattle is enjoying their break while the Detroit Tigers and Cleveland Guardians battle it out in the Wild Card. They will take on the winner of this series on Saturday at 1:08 p.m. PT or 5:38 p.m. PT, depending on who wins between the Boston Red Sox and New York Yankees .
It could wind up being an exciting series, as both the Guardians and Tigers are a scrappy bunch. However, with the expected attendance at T-Mobile Park, the fans could make this a tough environment for either team to thrive.
