MLB Network host Greg Amsinger made a series of bold predictions for the 2026 Seattle Mariners, forecasting the team will win 98 games, reach the World Series, and see pitcher Bryan Woo win the Cy Young Award. Amsinger's predictions, made during an appearance on Seattle Sports' 'Brock & Salk' show, come after the Mariners' heartbreaking 2025 season that saw them fall just short of the World Series.

Why it matters

The Mariners have never reached the World Series, so Amsinger's predictions represent a significant vote of confidence in the team's ability to take the next step and become a true championship contender. The forecast also raises expectations for Woo, who is expected to emerge as an elite starting pitcher in the American League.

The details

Amsinger's predictions include the Mariners winning 98 games, reaching the World Series, and seeing pitcher Bryan Woo win the Cy Young Award. This comes after the Mariners won the AL West in 2025 with a 90-72 record, only to fall just short of the World Series with a heartbreaking loss in Game 7 of the ALCS against the Toronto Blue Jays.

  • The predictions were made during an appearance on the 'Brock & Salk' show on Seattle Sports in February 2026.
