 Red Sox swept the A's back in April at the Oakland Coliseum, and they come in hot. Six of seven victories for the Red Sox. They won 16 of their last 22, and they have dominated Oakland of late, winning 13 of the last 16. The A's had a couple of decent stretches, and actually they won four of their last six, but they really bottomed out in June going 7-20, and they are 34-58 overall, 24 under .500.
