Oakland getting lotta deserved love for Cahill, but this is about the worst spot for A's - especially since AS Break.
A's have not won three in a row in over a month and are 0-4 since July 19 when previous two outings were Wins
Overall this season in Game1s, Oakland a puny 14-25, with an 8-16 limpness if Game1 is After a Win
Meanwhile, Rays just keep on chugging with best record in MLB....The first half averages of Pena and Upton were both in the low 200s, but both are now near .300 in past month of play, with Bossman really sparking. TBay sets six strong LH OBP bats vs Cahill - a guy they raked for 10 base runners in less than three innings in his only previous outing this year vs Rays
