Oakland Athletics
Despite the Oakland Athletics' disappointing start to the 2024 season and ongoing headlines about their potential relocation to Sacramento, there is hope that the players can still give fans something to cheer for. Currently ranking low in key offensive and pitching categories, including BA, OBP, SLG, OPS, ERA, and WHIP, the team will be looking to turn things around with the upcoming start of second-year pro Boyle on Sunday. Despite a rough outing in his first appearance this season, Boyle had shown promise in limited appearances in 2023. With a power ranking of 29 and struggling offense and defense, Oakland currently sits at 2-7 for the season.
