## Resource

The Athletics are clinging to playoff hope after a brutal slump, but this crucial series against the Diamondbacks could be their comeback moment. Starting pitching is showing signs of life, but the shaky bullpen needs games to stay close. Offensively, Jacob Wilson and Shea Langeliers are heating up with monster numbers — if they keep swinging, the A’s could steal this series. Manager Mark Kotsay’s been under fire for questionable bullpen decisions, but smarter game management could be the difference. This is their shot to prove they still have fight left.
