From watching this A's team this year it's no surprise they did what they did. After Santana the Twins starters were pretty much average. The A's bullpen matches up with any in baseball including the Twins. That being said, I think the Detroit series is going to be interesting. They both have very good starters. Kenny Rogers has pretty muched owned the A's the last few years but he's been known to get a little tired at the end of the season. The other starters for them are excellent.The big difference is that the A's make very few mistakes. They play pretty much perfect baseball a majority of the time. I think this is going to be a series that can go seven and be a classic pitching wise. A's in Seven.
