what happens if the mariners win tonight

If the Mariners win tonight, which would be Game 4 of the ALDS against the Detroit Tigers, they will take a commanding 3-1 lead in the best-of-five series. This puts them just one win away from advancing to the American League Championship Series (ALCS) for the first time since 2001. With a win tonight, the Mariners regain home-field advantage and move very close to clinching the series, either by winning tonight or in a potential Game 5 at home. The victory would also allow them to avoid a decisive Game 5 in Detroit, putting them in a strong position to advance further in the playoffs.
