Tampa Bay at Oakland

The A's really poured it on vs. Tampa Bay last night as they plated 13 runs. It is a bad offense that in the moment is hot and swinging the bats better than they have all season. The A's offense has been shutout 11 times already this season, but even bad offenses have their day, and it is now for the A's. Oakland has scored 61 runs in their last nine games - a season best streak, good for almost 7 runs per game. They face a Tampa Bay team that has fallen on hard times, winners of just four of their last 15 games. The Rays are not only playing bad, they are in a bad spot here as they are 2-16 the last 18 times they have been in game four after dropping the first three. The A's have been great with Harden on the hill at 43-17 in his last 60 starts. Oakland gets the call.
