Game Thread #151: A’s vs. Mets
New series and a rare visit from this New York team
The A’s welcome the New York Mets to the Bay Area for a three-game weekend series.
Former Athletic Chris Bassitt gets the ball for his new team to kick the series off. He’s been everything they wanted from that trade, as he’s been one of the most stable arms in their rotation all year. The A’s will counter him with Cole Irvin, who has generally been great at the Coliseum this year but not quite as sharp recently.
