The Athletics are on the brink of a devastating sweep by the Royals — a team barely above .500 — and their season’s momentum could vanish if they can’t pull off at least one win. Pitcher Gage Jump’s recent struggles since the All-Star break have been glaring, but his last two outings hint at a comeback: more strikeouts, fewer runs. Meanwhile, the bullpen’s data-driven strategy has backfired, replacing the old-school approach that let winning pitchers stay in. And while they’ve held leads, their offense crumbles late — especially after the seventh — leaving them vulnerable to comebacks. To avoid disaster, they must score consistently through the whole game and finish with fire.
