The Seattle Mariners are red hot as of late , as the club is on a seven-game win streak entering Tuesday's contest against the New York Mets . Pitching has been on point, the offense is scoring at will, and one MLB reporter believes this is a team that could go on a serious World Series run this year.

In the latest episode of "The Leadoff Spot" on MLB Network Radio on SiriusXM, reporter Dani Wexelman believes the Mariners are a World Series team just based on the current win streak the club is on. Wexelman explains in full detail every reason why she believes this team could contend for a title in October.
"To see a run like this, they've outscored their opponents during this streak 40-15," said Wexelman. "They have one of the best pitching staffs in the league, they have young players… This is a team I think can contend in the World Series. When they are healthy, when they are at their best, and you have so many different guys night after night… It feels to me like a very special team right now."
The Mariners were in full display in Monday's 3-2 win over the Mets. Although the contest went into extra innings, it didn't take long for Seattle to clinch the victory. After Randy Arozarena stole third base after starting the bottom of the 10th inning on second as the automatic runner, Cole Young blasted a walk-off single to left field to bring Arozarena home to secure the victory.
While the organization is enjoying this win streak and owning a 2.5 lead in the AL West, the Mariners are not even at full strength . Seattle has been playing without Cal Raleigh and Brendan Donovan , as both star sluggers are spending time on the 10-day IL. Once they eventually return to action, this team might be even scarier than they are now.
