With two impressive road victories under their belt, the Red Sox have an opportunity to
begin to turn their season around with a series win in Oakland. The A's are (once again this year) a
mess. They are in last place in the AL West (17-23, 11.5 games out) and are 4-6 in their last ten games. For goodness sakes,
Yonder Alonzo is their leading hitter—
at .271.
Jed Lowrie, the 33-year old IF who left the Red Sox six years ago, has the most hits on the team (38). Their best starting pitcher is
Andrew Triggs—a 28-year old righty who, while he
does have an impressive 2.12 ERA and five wins, is still
Andrew Triggs. Believe us, the A's are really bad—as their -45 run differential attests.
The Carmine Hose need to take
at least three of four from these guys.
