Series Preview: Mariners (21-26) at Athletics (28-20)

It feels weird to be standing at the precipice of June and just seeing the A’s for the first time this season, but then again, this isn’t the A’s team Mariners fans are used to seeing. Khris Davis, whose visage seemed synonymous with those kelly green A’s uniforms, is in Arlington now, and Marcus Semien is a Toronto Blue Jay. But hey, Jed Lowrie is still here, so this still feels like the Same Old A’s in a (very annoying) way. Also annoyingly familiar: the A’s, despite only investing in their 2021 team at the 11th hour of the off-season and keeping dollars spent to a minimum, have managed to climb ahead of the Astros to lead the AL West despite an absolutely dismal start to the season.
