The A’s start this series after yet another week of strong baseball, this time with two straight series wins against the hapless Rangers and slightly-less-hapless Twins. Winners of 7 of their last 10, the A’s are currently halfway through 20 straight games without a break, testing their mettle just as the final push for the postseason begins. However, their real test is just getting started as they face off against Houston, Seattle, and the Yankees in the next three series.
The A’s offense as been beating the stuffing out of opposing pitching, belting 15 home runs and 16 doubles as a group in the last week.
