It’s the weekend, Athletics Nation!
The Athletics took a loss on Opening Day for the second year in a row. The game wasn’t a complete drubbing though, the A’s put up a fight after getting used to Aaron Nola’s repertoire. While their successes weren’t enough to put a W on the board for the first game there are still a few things that if repeated, could lead to success over the weekend.
Strike while the park factors are hot:
Citizens Bank Park is the sixth-most hitter-friendly ballpark in the majors, and those factors have only been getting stronger year-over-year.
