MLBTR's Steve Adams joins Darragh McDonald to discuss how a sudden hot streak from the Mariners has propelled them back into the playoff mix despite trading away pieces at the deadline, and on the flip side, how the Angels' losing streak has left them with very low playoff odds despite their all-in approach.

Also, the effect of Josh Jung and Jonah Heim's injuries on the Rangers, major health concerns for the Rays' Shane McClanahan and the Yankees' Carlos Rodon and Trevor Story's long-awaited return to the Red Sox.

Listener question topics include whether the Cubs will try to sign Cody Bellinger to a long-term deal, which injury return could be most impactful to the Dodgers and
if anyone will be on the hot seat in Anaheim if they fail to make the playoffs once again.
