ARLINGTON, Texas — This is no longer just a mirage. It’s not just a hot streak. They’re not just getting lucky. These A’s are for real.
Now at 60-43 after Khris Davis continued to terrorize the Rangers in yet another comeback victory Wednesday night, the A’s would qualify for the best record in the National League right now. They reside in the much tougher American League, still third place in their own division, but the Seattle Mariners can hear the elephant-sized footsteps coming as the A’s are just 1 1/2 games behind them for the second wild card spot.
