Close and low-scoring define the games in Oakland’s series against Seattle pretty well. This weekend, Oakland scored a total of 11 runs, compared to Seattle’s 10. In all the three games, (Oakland won the first and third, Seattle the second,) the margin of victory was two runs or less.
Fortunately for the team, the LA Angels suffered three losses this week, setting them half a game back, and making Oakland the leaders of the AL West. What will really set a divide in this race is the four game series between the Angels and A’s starting tomorrow in Los Angeles.
