Softy and Dick H1 - Mariners split series with the Red Sox / Regional Reaction / Playoff odds

Summary: The daunting four-game series against the Red Sox is over and the M's got through it, splitting it with Boston two games a piece. Obviously a split isn't a series win, but it's hard to be upset about splitting a series with one of the best teams in baseball. Before we played the Astros, we said we'd be happy if the M's went 13-12 over the final 25 games in June. So far, they're 9-4. If you could guarantee the Mariners would make the wild card game, and that they'd get it at home, would you take it or would you take your chances fighting for the division? We take your votes on Regional Reaction. At this point, the M's have a 75 percent chance of making the playoffs, and only three teams in the wild card era have won 46 or more games in their first 72 and not made the playoffs.
