The Seattle Mariners can clinch a playoff berth tonight by defeating the Colorado Rockies and depending on a Yankees win against the White Sox. The Mariners have been dominant recently, winning 14 of their last 15 games and riding a four-game win streak. If victorious, they would also have an opportunity to clinch their first AL West title since 2001 tomorrow. In Major League Baseball, the league approved the use of robot umpires for the 2026 season, introducing a challenge system for balls and strikes. This decision, supported by Seattle’s Cal Raleigh, follows successful trials in the minor leagues and during spring training.

In NFL news, the New York Giants are considering benching Russell Wilson after his struggles in a loss against the Kansas City Chiefs. The Giants, currently 0-3, hope to spark their season with rookie Jaxson Dart starting against the undefeated Chargers. Meanwhile, the Detroit Lions secured a thrilling 38-30 victory over the Baltimore Ravens, showcasing a strong performance on defense.
