The Oakland Athletics are attempting to avoid being swept at home on Sunday against the Cleveland Indians. If the A's drop the game, it would be their first time being swept in 2012. The team has only managed to plate one run in each of the first two games of the season, so Seth Smith and Kila Ka'aihue will get starts today as Oakland desperately searching for something in their lineup to click.

1. Michael Brantley - CF
