A's

They are 5 games out and have a three game series against the Angel's this week. Any reasonable person knows the A's don't have much of a shot against the Angel's in the long run. Yet, a sweep going into the All Star break would bring them within 2 games, certainly not a bad spot to be in.

A dominant starting pitching performance is their best shot at winning these games. Did they trade Harden a few weeks early?
