Marco Gonzales vs. Mike Foltynewicz, 11:35am
A rough game last night, as the M’s lost on a walk-off served up by their new closer, Diego Castillo. Castillo should be fine, and you can’t judge a new acquisition after a game or two, no matter how much Jerry Dipoto urges you to do so for Abraham Toro.
The M’s playoff odds stand now at 2.4%, a product of the A’s improving their team’s bullpen and line-up and, you know, losing some games. The M’s have finally surpassed the odds for the Angels, which is kind of funny, but also something of an indictment of the odds themselves.
