The Oakland A’s are showing confidence in Jesus Luzardo, but it is a confidence borne of great expectations.
Jesus Luzardo was expected to get a look at some point during the Oakland A’s postseason. While Chris Bassitt was slotted as the second starter, it was thought that Luzardo would likely get the ball if a third game was needed.
