Command Analysis

Oakland Athletics

After a great start of the season Oakland Athetics started to crumble, a loss of focus led to five defeats in six last games. After these defeats Mark Kotsay's men dropped to the 9th spot in the American League, now team is going to play three games against a seriously motivated opponent, so they may drop even lower.

Tampa Bay Rays

Tampa Bay Rays had an impressive streak last week, team secured three victories in a row, but in two latest matches team was unable to maintain that level of performance and lost two games to the Minnesota Twins. Kevin Cash's men are surely unhappy with that result, now they are only 5th in the American League.
