Athletics’ Last Chance Before Break | MLB News

The Athletics are clinging to playoff hope, five and a half games back with two losses in a row—this series against the Tigers is their last shot before the All-Star break. With pitching struggling and offense scarce, they’ve got a bright spot in Joshua Kuroda-Grauer, hitting .400+ and driving in runs—maybe it’s time to move him up the order. Pitching woes? Time to shake things up—Jacob Lopez or Kade Morries could be the answer. And Jonah Heim? He’s been a monster at DH, including a six-run game with a grand slam—he’s got to be in every game. Win even one or two, and they could finally turn things around before the break. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
