The Oakland Athletics have not had much to celebrate this year. Aside from a few surprising players and a commitment to rebuild the franchise, the A’s have had an extremely tough season.
Despite the team’s struggles this year, Khris Davis remains one of the club’s most entertaining performers. Davis, 29, enters Thursday with 39 HR and 99 RBI. He is slashing .241/.330/.530 overall on the year.
The A’s have followed Davis’ lead this year and rank 6th in the AL with 197 home runs. Unfortunately the surge in power has done little to help Oakland in the standings.
