We know we are in the dog days of summer when the biggest story of last night's game was where Yoenis Cespedes wants to finish his playing career (spoiler alert: It's back with the Green & Gold!).
But even in the midst of a long and frustrating season, there is plenty to be intrigued about as the A's play the Mets tonight in New York. Here are tonight's starting line-ups (No red-hot Rajai Davis or banged up Ryan Healy tonight) and 5 storylines to keep you interested in Game #97:
| OAKLAND A'S | NEW YORK METS |
|---|---|
| Matt Joyce - RF | Michael Conforto - CF |
| Marcus Semien - SS | Asdrubal Cabrera - 3B |
| Yonder Alonso - 1B | Yoenis Cespedes - LF |
| Khris Davis - LF | Wilmer Flores - 2B |
| Jed Lowrie - 2B | Jay Bruce - RF |
| Bruce Maxwell - C | T. |
