A’s vs Giants World Series? Why not, it’s 2020!
That’s Amaury News and Commentary

In a year like this 2020, we can expect the unexpected. Yes, the Athletics are one of the top tier teams to make it all the way, while the Giants are definitely not on that same tier of team, but this is 2020, so you must throw logic out the window.
The last time the Giants went to the Fall Classic was as recent as 2014 when they beat Kansas City in seven games. The A’s have waited since 1990, when they lost to the Cincinnati Reds in a four-game sweep.
2020 is the perfect storm of a year, for these bay area teams to met again, Most memorable the last (and only time) they met in a World Series in 1989,that was stopped by the largest earthquake in recent history, the Loma Prieta 6.9 intensity earthquake.
Maybe destiny has it, that our two bay area professional teams will only make it under those circumstances. However, compared to 1989, this 2020 is in a class by itself.
More than likely the A’s will make it far and the Giants who are currently hot on a 5-game winning streak and will just vanish and try to salvage the season and play not to end in the cellar in a 60-game season.
The A’s do not have it that easy. Tomorrow they open their longest road-trip of the season, a 10-game show that takes them to Texas to play with both clubs in that State and then all the way up north to Seattle for three more games.
The A’s are one of the most complete teams in MLB this season, they are atop of the AL West and their only real threat -not to win the division- is the Houston Astros.
Good luck to both teams, and see you in the World Series!
