Oakland has a chance to secure their second straight series victory today with a win(!). They’ve taken the first two of four against the Chicago White Sox and today they go for three straight. It would be their first 3-game winning streak since June when they won seven straight.
To do that they’ll need a strong outing from lefty JP Sears. Even though his win-loss record is an ugly 2-10, that doesn’t tell the story of Sears’ rookie season. Barely able to squeak into the starting rotation out of camp, Sears remains the only starter from that season-opening rotation.
