A’s lineup is hot in September, if only the pitchers would follow suit

The Oakland A’s are 6-8 in September so far, but their losing record isn’t due to a lack of hitting.

The A’s lineup is one of the hottest in the majors this month. Out of 30 teams, they rank third in scoring, with a robust .274/.338/.438 line that puts them fourth in wRC+ as well as the fourth-lowest strikeout rate in the sport.
