The A's and O's will meet in the East Bay this weekend. Both teams are intent on remaining playoffs-bound.
The Oakland Athletics got the job done, taking a four-game series against the Los Angeles Angels in Anaheim over the past few days. Now they will return home to the O.co Coliseum to host another key three-game set against the Baltimore Orioles, who are currently battling for control of both the second Wild Card spot and the pole position in the American League East.
The Orioles are 7-3 over their last 10 games and are coming off a sweep of the Tampa Bay Rays. These two teams will be playing for key wins which could have deep postseason implications both ways. Plenty of people will be watching this series intently.
