Need offense? Look no further than A's-Phillies series this weekend

It’s not often that the great baseball city of Philadelphia gets a close-up view of the once-local franchise that skipped town after the 1954 season, but the Oakland Athletics will find ample cheesesteaks available when they’re not playing baseball this weekend. This has been one of the surprise offenses since the All-Star break, as the Athletics are tied for ninth in runs during the past two months, and fantasy owners can still add several of the better options.

For example, first baseman/outfielder Matt Olson has homered in three of the past five games, giving him 18 in 50 games this season.
