On That’s Amaury’s podcast:

#1 The Oakland A’s lost five of their last seven games not ideal to end the regular season but they ended the season on a winning note with a victory over the Seattle Mariners 6-2 on Sunday at the Oakland Coliseum.

#2 The A’s now host the Chicago White Sox for the best two out of three series which starts at the Coliseum on Tuesday this has to be a better wild card set up than the one and dones the A’s have had in past years.

#3 A’s manager Bob Melvin said that it’s been a difficult season on the players with the protocols and not being allowed to see your family and friends and just going from the park and to hotel each night.

#4 The White Sox come to the Coliseum ten games over .500 at 35-25 from the regular season and the A’s regular season record 36-24 have the home field advantage through the wild card series.

#5 The A’s have not announced a starting pitcher for Tuesday but it’s likely that Sean Manaea might get the call from Melvin. The White Sox have and are going with Lucas Giolito (0-0) whose making his first career appearance pitching at the Oakland Coliseum in his last start he threw 119 pitches 11 for strikeouts.
