Oakland's next 3 games are against Tampa Bay. If we take care of business, IF, we are guaranteed to gain ground on someone for the #2 WC.

Not to mention that after that series, Oakland plays the Rangers while we come home for 4 against the Mariners (albeit one against Felix).

Time is ticking, no doubt. And I'd say that we probably need to win at least 5 of the next 7 games to make things really interesting. But we didn't need a sweep of Oakland.
