Let’s hope that day off helped. The A’s are back at it today as they travel to Chicago to take on the White Sox on Jackie Robinson Day in the Windy City. It’ll be the first of three in Chicago before continuing the road trip this weekend, but first things first.
The A’s will turn to lefty Jeffrey Springs to start the series off on the right foot for the team. Springs has been up and down so far this as he’s sporting a 4.20 ERA through three starts. He’ll have an excellent chance to lower than number today against a White Sox team that has struggled on offense all season, with even star center fielder Luis Robert Jr.
