About as cold as the numbers can push it. Losing by 6 last night pulls things in the wrong direction. Compounding things, winning just 1 of 7 this week pulls the temperature down.

Athletics News
The Oakland Athletics kicked off a critical homestand with a disappointing performance, falling 8-2 to the New York Yankees, who extended their winning streak to five games. The A’s have now dropped four straight and are struggling to find their footing, with a recent offensive slump averaging just 2.1 runs per game over the past week. Luis Severino's early exit due to right arm soreness after just one inning only adds to the A's troubles, as they desperately need him to stabilize their rotation. Meanwhile, Yankees' Carlos Rodon showcased his prowess, dominating the Athletics and allowing them little room to breathe. With each game slipping away, the A’s must quickly find a way to ignite their bats and turn the tide, especially as they face the powerful Yankees again this weekend.
Athletics Upcoming Schedule
The Oakland Athletics visit the Chicago Cubs for a 3-game series starting Tuesday.
