Oakland at Minnesota

The Oakland A's have been on an unsustainable run. This team broke out in mid-June, going 42-14, losing two in a row just one time in the process. The sustainability of streaks like that always come to an end. The A's may be experiencing that adjustment now, having dropped two straight and three of five. They are catching a mediocre Twins team that has been playing very well, coming into the series opener having won 7 of their last 10. The Twins have averaged six runs per game over the 10 games, and have scored five runs or more in nine of them. The Twins have been among MLB's best at home for a pretty good stretch, as they are 20-6 here in their last 26. Play on Minnesota.
