The Mets can hit, but they haven't won regularly all season and are clinging to wild-card hopes.
vs. Oakland Athletics (53-41)
Four games: Thursday through Sunday
Owners of an AL wild-card spot at the moment, the A's are 8-2 in their past 10 games.
vs. N.Y. Yankees (59-33)

The best record in the American League belongs to the Yanks, who play host to the Rays and Rockies before coming to Minnesota.
