The Athletics fall into the trailing group as the Mariners and Rangers break ahead.
The Oakland A's put up their worst week yet. Thanks to the doubleheader on Saturday, Oakland failed to end a single day of last week on a win and a gap has opened between them and division front-runners Seattle and Texas with 21 weeks to go.
Their odds of winning the division, according to FanGraphs' Playoff Odds, have halved from 5-to-1 to 10-to-1 in the last week:

Seattle was the biggest beneficiary of Oakland's fall after sweeping the A's to start the week, while the Angels are really in a bad spot:
