Sean Manaea (7-5, 3.76 ERA) takes the mound for the A’s just hours after it was announced that Oakland had sent Sean Doolittle and Ryan Madson to the Washington Nationals.
Sure, we’ll talk about the ballgame today and the fact that the A’s, as Jeremy Koo laid out on Twitter today, could conceivably end the day just 5 games out of the second Wild Card slot...
A’s start the day 6.5 out of WC2. If Yankees get swept in the doubleheader at BOS + Twins lose at HOU + A’s win vs CLE, then A’s within 5.
