The following Game preview was written by our new contributor, Simon Harris, who is an Astros fan living in the San Francisco Bay area. We also look forward to his Game Recap Sunday from Oakland Coliseum and future contributions as well.

Dusty Baker returns to the bay area with his defending champions for a 3-game set, having swept the A’s a week ago at Minute Maid Park.
