March and April are in the past, and today we’re on to a new month. Before we get started with May, though, let’s check in on how the Oakland A’s are doing by the numbers.

That’s exactly what has happened so far, as Oakland stands with a 14-14 record that puts them fourth in the AL West and only two games behind third.
The lineup has been the engine dragging this team upward to respectability.
