My Deep Dive into Mariners Playoff Chances
First, I startdeted by bookmarking all the key websites – you know, the official MLB site, ESPN, some fan forums. I wanted to have all the info at my fingertips, all the time.

Then, I , I created a simple spreadsheet. Nothing fancy, just a place to jot down their wins, losses, and who they were playing. I also made a note of the key rivals in their division and the Wild Card race. We gotta keep an eye on those guys, right?
- Column 1: Date of the game
- Column 2: Opponent
- Column 3: Win or Loss (W/L)
- Column 4: Running Win Total
- Column 5:Notes about key plays, injuries, anything that stood out.
After every game, I jumped onto my spreadsheet and updated the numbers. I watched as many games as possible and try to focus on the performance. It's been a bit of a rollercoaster, to be honest!
I also started paying attention to the "win probability" stats that some sites offer. They're not perfect, but they give you a sense of how the team is trending, based on all sorts of data.
As I write this today, I can see they are still strugling, hope they can turn the table. It's going to be a nail-biter, I think, I'll keep updating my spreadsheet and watching those games. Fingers crossed!
