The difference between the A's this year and in year's past is the team actually has a top offense to match their top pitching. Their pitching is great every year. This season they have Moss who is going to hit 40+ home runs if he stays healthy, Donaldson who should hit 30+ with a .300 average, and Cespedes who should top 30 HRs with a decent average. The team is much stronger offensively and, in typical Beane fashion, draw walks as well.
