    Yankees
    Red sox
    Astros
    Indians

    All would love to face them rather than another team from that group.

    Are they even going to make the playoffs? It took this amazing run just to catch up to the rest of the contenders. How much longer can they keep this up? It was a full release but it seems to me that it is going to be premature.

    Only 1 game back of Seattle. Its a 2 team race for that last WC spot.

    Only chance either would have is if the yankees and red sox battle it out to the final day cor the division and do not have Severino/sale for the WC game.

    They will make the playoff - incredible to rebuilt a team 3x with rarely any free agent help -

    Oakland can beat any of those teams - no juggernaut- houston/indians got the strongest rotation but there bullpen is suspect - Boston have suck in the playoffs 2 years in a row - Yankees I believe would be Oakland toughest match up

    Pitching still very suspect.. Don't like them in the playoffs all that much.. They are on a roll right now and playing well though.. Bats are hot right now and carrying the load..

    They are winning games on the road - last 5 games.. Let's see how they play in Colorado in this next series.. I expect a lot of runs scored..

    I'm a little gun shy to play the A's tonight in game 1 of this series.. Rockies are playing great themselves right now 8-2 in their last 10 games.. Solid at home right..

    A's are really gonna have to try and bring it tonight.. Still I'm never spooked to shy away from a winning streak.. Gonna play the A's for small probably.. Over is high but that could land too..

    Given the A's mediocre playoff record in recent history, nobody is fearing them.
