Mariners closer Edwin Diaz was coming off a weekend series in which his team swept the defending World Series champion Astros in four games and he saved all four.
Of the Mariners 30 one-run wins, Diaz has gotten the save 24 times.
Again, if we consider that pretty much the only reason the Mariners are within 2 1/2 games of a playoff spot right now is the 30 one-run wins and that Diaz has been a major reason for that, his value skyrockets, no? They are playing 11 wins over their head and Diaz successfully closed down 24 one-run victories.
