So the fallout of today's rainout is that following Rich Hill/Jesse Hahn Saturday, Kendall Graveman on Sunday, Sonny Gray on Monday and Sean Manaea on Tuesday, the A's will need a 6th starting pitcher Wednesday at Boston. Options include Eric Surkamp, who might have to go on short rest unless the A's fiddle with his previous start, a "bullpen game" knowing there is an off-day on Thursday, and Dillon Overton.
With no big league experience and not being on the 40-man roster, Overton might be considered a long-shot Why is he the right choice?
