If the move to Las Vegas succeeds, which looks likely with recent breakthroughs, fans will have a bitter pill to swallow. Oakland will be without any major sporting teams, with their NBA and NFL teams having already left. This comes amidst a wave of immense form in what looks likely to be a bad season.

The Athletics have won their last 7 games?

Many experts would call the Athletics the worst MLB team at the moment. But a spurt of great form has seen them miraculously win 7 games in a row. Furthermore, during that period, they have beaten teams such as the Tampa Bay Rays, Milwaukee Brewers, and Pittsburgh Pirates. Although this will not change the outcome of their season by much, it is a good feeling for their upset fans.?
