Baseball Reference now has the Mariners tied with the second-highest percentage chance of winning the World Series (and the best chance among American League clubs):

FanGraphs gives the Mariners the highest-percentage chance of all MLB teams:

3-0 against the worst team in the league then rest some guys. I would. How much rest is too much though.
The will have 5 days rest after the season. That should be plenty.
Obviously you are optimistic about getting the 2nd seed. I'm not taking anything for granted, but it's looking good for staying ahead of Detroit given their recent collapse and the difficulty of their remaining schedule (3 each against Cleveland the Red Sox).

95% chance is good enough for me. If I had a 95% chance to win $300M in power ball and the other 5% I would die instantly I would do it in a heart beat. lol

Reminds me of the question on my golf forum: If you can make a hole-in-one in 24 hours you win $1 million. Otherwise you go to prison for a year.

Mariners win! We're HEROES!!!

If it wasn't for Vargas, that would have been a total three-game annihilation. Kind of was anyway, wasn't it?
I know! That's what I was thinking when they were up 6-0. Were we going to sweep them by shutting them out in all 3 games and we nearly did!

Someone posted that gif of Lloyd Christmas (Jim Carrey) in Dumb and Dumber ripping the art out of the chef and I thought that was apropos.
