Sunday will dawn bright and full of promise at the Coliseum. The A’s, playing their final regular-season home game of 2018, will head to the ballpark with a chance to secure a playoff spot for the first time in four years.

This scenario counted as wildly improbable on Opening Day, to say the least. But now the A’s stand on the brink of the postseason, after shaving their magic number to 1 with Saturday night’s 3-2 victory over Minnesota before 36,731 boisterous spectators.
