Oakland at San Diego

Oakland started the season not looking good, but looking better than they did a year ago. The A's were actually 17-17 through 34 games, and then suddenly the progress stopped, and the wheels have come off. Since that time the A's have looked a lot like last year's team. Oakland is just 9-24 in their last 33 games. The San Diego Padres have been around a .500 team all season, and can't seem to get a run going. This could be the perfect opponenet to get this team at home, and play up. They will head to NY and take on the Mets after this series, where they believe they can win too. Oakland has shown nothing, and with San Diego having a good shot to get their season turned around vs. a pair of weaker teams is incentive enough. Make the play on San Diego.
