The Oakland Athletics are not off to a great start this season. Even though the A’s have only played two games, they lost both games by one run. This is an eerie déjà vu moment for Oakland because they struggled to win many of those one-run games in 2015. They ultimately lost a total of 35 one-run games last year.
However, in 2015, the bullpen was the main cause of these losses. This year, it is the starting rotation. The A’s need to break out of this funk fast in order to avoid a repeat of last season.
