Game 1: Marco Gonzales vs. Jesus Luzardo, 1:10pm
Game 2: Walker Lockett/Jimmy Yacabonis vs. Mike Minor
The A’s are in town to face the M’s for two at T-Mobile Park, but there were worries earlier that Seattle’s smoky air might make playing the game – let alone two of them – too dangerous. The air yesterday cancelled the M’s taxi squad practices, and it doesn’t look appreciably better now. I’m in the south sound, where it has, blessedly, begun to rain. Hopefully that system heads north, as it might knock some particulates out of the air.
So, does anyone actually want the second AL West playoff spot?
