How important is this first series of the second half for the Mariners? Could this be a make break series in the divisional race between the Mariners and Astros? // Julio started to look like the player we expect him to be just before the All-Star break, should we expect him to hit the ground running in the second half and live up to expectations the remainder of the season? // Take Two: Pitching matchups for this series: Castillo v. Brandon Walter, Logan Evans and Lance McCullers and then a change for the Astros: Hunter Brown will now pitch on Sunday instead of Framber Valdez. Red Sox 10-game win streak comes to an end in Chicago, they fall to the Cubs 4-1…Mariners now just a game back for the 2nd wild card and have a 1.5 game lead over the Rays for the third spot // The Seahawks have now signed all of their draft picks after Nick Emmanwori and Elijah Arroyo signed their deals. Emmanwori is the first ever 35th overall pick to have their rookie contract be fully guaranteed. Do these contracts tell us anything about the confidence the Seahawks have that these two players will have a big impact on this season? // Wyman & Bob give us their expectations for the Mariners All-Star catcher Cal Raleigh and what we should see out of him in the second half of the season. Where will he end up in total homeruns?

Micah Parsons gave a detailed update on his contract talks on The Undertaker’s podcast. Jim Harbaugh randomly started talking about his former athletic accomplishments in his first press conference at training camp.
