Today at 3:37 PM (Eastern) the Oakland A’s will play their final game in Oakland.

The A’s have won the World Series 9 times.

At the conclusion of today’s game at the Oakland Coliseum, Oakland will have lost the Oakland Raiders, the Golden State Warriors and the Oakland A’s.

Tough pill to swallow for longtime Oakland sports fans I would imagine.

The warriors owner bought the team with the intention of moving it to SF. However he would like to buy the A’sand keep them in Oakland.

Jose Fernandez died 8 years ago to the day,

rare to get two historical events in one day - the last game in Oakland, and the potential 121st loss for the White Sox. Did not realize that the A’s won 17 division titles. The pregame show in Oakland is very good.

White Sox on the cusp of winning their *checks notes*……3rd straight game

There you have it below scenario for today's results that has come true heading to Nets-Braves DH tomorrow .....

Scenario: Braves lose; Mets and D-backs win
Result: Braves would need one win in Monday’s doubleheader vs. NYM; Mets would need one win in doubleheader; D-backs would need either ATL or NYM to win both games of doubleheader

So if Mets-Braves spilt doubleheader the DBacks are out and Braves 5th seed and Mets 6th.
If either takes both games DBacks are in and either Mets or Braves are out and DBacks either way are 6th seed.

Biggest winner may be SD, it they won today, Mets and Braves don’t play the DH tomorrow.

Didn't even realize but correct! Guys like Profar, Machado, Kim, Bogaerts didn't even play. Braves/Mets pitching will be stretched that's for sure and LAD have to be hoping one of them beats the Padres.

Great game in Atlanta right now……..

Can't have a more exciting game than this one. If not a fan of baseball, this game might grab your interest.
You can't be serious! Both closers fall apart and Lindor puts Mets back ahead!

OMG

Love to find out the back and forth live odds for this game from the start at the top of the 8th?

Braves announcer said it best while last Brave was at bat, "if you're a Braves or Mets fan this is torture, if a casual fan, what an incredible game."

Draftkings just posted 2nd game ML ....
Braves -425. SP Sale
Mets +330 SP ?

LOL but the DBacks might as well clean out their lockers. The Mets I believe if were to win game they have to go play the Padres. Lose and they get Brewers. Last team in the NL I would want to play is red hot SD.

The star named quality in that lineup appears to be paying back in spades. Just think if they still had Soto!
