The Mariners were thought to have the talent to seriously contend going into last season, but Seattle ultimately finished with a solid 88-74 mark that was nevertheless only good for third in the AL West.

After some offseason adjustments, Scott Servais’ club is thought to be in good position to atone for the postseason miss. Let’s take a closer look at 2024 Seattle Mariners futures odds markets as Opening Day 2024 approaches.

As we just alluded to, the Mariners were able to cobble together 88 victories last season and have made some improvements on paper.

Jorge Polanco already looks to be a very prudent offseason addition thanks to a torrid spring at the plate, while Mitch Garver, another new arrival, has a 31-homer season on his resume and is coming off having generated an .870 OPS for the world champion Rangers in 2023.

Holdovers such as Julio Rodriguez, Ty France, Cal Raleigh and J.P. Crawford should also have their typically significant impact. Moreover, the return of Mitch Haniger after one injury-plagued season in San Francisco could turn out to be one of the better under-the-radar offseason moves if he’s as effective as he’s looked this spring.

The AL West will once again be a gauntlet with the Rangers and a very talented Astros team leading the way, but Seattle’s starting rotation, which boasts several of the most promising young arms in the Junior Circuit, is certainly talented enough to spearhead a 90-win season.

Having already established that the Mariners will work with a potent lineup this season, we’ll now dive a bit deeper into the aforementioned array of starting arms upon which the team’s postseason aspirations largely hinge.

The presence of veteran Luis Castillo atop the depth chart is invaluable, considering the leadership he’s already provided the precocious group behind him and his own undeniable talent as he enters his age-31 season.

Castillo has flashed high-90s velocity on his fastball this spring and is already coming off having posted the second-highest win (14) and strikeout (219) totals of his career during his first full Mariners campaign in 2023.

George Kirby and Logan Gilbert, first-round selections in 2019 and 2018, respectively, slot into the No. 2 and No. 3 spots. Out of their four combined seasons in the majors, they already have a trio of 13-win tallies on their resumes. The talented duo should be primed to reach new heights in 2024 now that they have a solid amount of experience under their belt.

No. 4 starter Bryce Miller and No. 5 arm Bryan Woo essentially guarantee this rotation is free of weak links, which has been far from the case in past seasons. The depth is so impressive that 2020 first-round pick Emerson Hancock projects to be the odd man out for the moment, although he could potentially be deployed out of an impressive bullpen that recently added flamethrowing veteran Ryne Stanek and has a potentially dominant closer in Andres Munoz.

While the AL terrain will be a tough one again this season, snagging a -145 price to back the idea of the Mariners to at least securing a wild card is a solid bet to make.

While the Mariners have short odds to make the postseason, their chances of actually winning the whole thing is another matter altogether.

That’s certainly understandable, considering the Dodgers, Braves and their fellow AL West denizens, the Astros, are rightfully considered the top three teams by a fairly wide margin. As solid an offseason as the Mariners have had, their lineup still doesn’t quite measure up to what Los Angeles and Atlanta in particular bring to the table.

Consequently, a bet at this price is always worth considering if your bankroll supports it, but with the understanding it will be quite the uphill climb for Seattle to hoist the Commissioner’s Trophy in early November.
