I agree. The A's just became a serious threat to Detroit IMO. I'm still not completely sold on the A's offense vs elite pitching, but Detroit has bullpen issues. No teams are flawless, but I believe they are the two best teams in MLB by a pretty big margin.
Wish my Yanks could have gotten one of those guys
. Looks like another rough year with no postseason.
