Good News: Mariners Enter The All Star Break In First Place

The Seattle Mariners offense hasn’t been the best in the world to say the least this season. Julio Rodriguez hasn’t been as good as he should be, and frankly the whole offense just seems like it doesn’t know how to hit a baseball. But for the first time in what seems like a long time the Seattle Mariners are in first place in the AL West at the All Star Break.

Mariners go into the All-Star break with a game 1 game lead over the Astros in the AL West.

I think its fair to be both happy and worried.

We LEAD the MLB in strikeouts, and have the worst team batting average in baseball.

That requires some serious concern, yet, I am…

So sure there are some major and I mean MAJOR concerns going into the All Star break but with the pitching staff being as good as it is, if these concerns can be fixed a bit we can see the Seattle Mariners in a much better position than just a few games up on the Astros. This second half of the season should be a lot of fun.
