The A’s are just hours away from taking on the Tampa Bay Rays at the Coliseum for their second straight wild card game. Who should you keep an eye on? All of them, sure, but here are five key names.
LHP Sean Manaea: The wild card game’s starter for the A’s has been sharp in all five of his starts since returning from last year’s season-ending shoulder surgery. He has a 1.21 ERA with 30 strikeouts and a .775 WHIP this year.
LHP Jesús Luzardo: There is no guarantee that Luzardo will come out of the bullpen, of course.
