The A’s have lost 2 in a row and they are also in the basement of their division 13 games out of first in the AL West.
The A’s are 48-22 in their last 70 home games facing the Rays.

Jake Odorizi (4-5 4.39 ERA) gets the starting nod for Tampa Bay and in his last start he gave up 2 earned runs in 6 innings in a 5-2 win over the Baltimore Orioles. The Rays had lost his previous 5 starts.
Odorizi faced the A’s earlier this season and he did not have a good outing giving up 5 earned runs in only 4 innings of work in a 6-3 Tampa loss.
