Get ready to slide into some MLB action as the Oakland Athletics, looking to shake off their recent rust, charge into Progressive Field to face the high-flying Cleveland Guardians today at 1:40 PM EST. With the A’s trailing in the American League standings and the Guardians holding their ground at the top, this matchup promises a clash of desperation and domination.
