Morning Athletics fans!
The club is on a bit of a skid right now, having lost three straight games to Chicago’s two teams. Two one-run losses against possibly the worst team ever in the White Sox (currently at 36-115) and the Cubs, who are above the .500 mark but quickly falling out of contention for a Wild Card spot. The A’s stand at an improved 65-86 compared to last year’s disaster and with only 11 games to go the Oakland A’s won’t hit the dreaded 100-loss mark in their final year in the East Bay.
Still, if the club gets hot and goes 8-3 the rest of the way then they’ll also avoid the 90-loss threshold.
