Oakland at Kansas City 8:50 ET
A's over Royals- The first American League Wild Card contest will be played by a pair of 'hitless wonders' as both the A's and Royals have trouble scoring runs. It doesn't look like it will get any better tonight as both clubs will send their ace's to the mound. Oakland who just hasn't been the same since acquiring Jon Lester (16-11 2.46 ERA overall and 6-4, 2.35 with the A's) from the Red Sox have played under .500 baseball since the All-Star break. They were 12-17 in August and 10-16 in September but with Lester they have playoff experience as he has make 13 post season appearances with Boston. Lester is 9-3 lifetime against Kansas City including 3-0 this season. The Royals starter Jamie Fields (14-8, 3.21) is 1-0 against the A's this season and 6-4 lifetime. In what could end up a classic pitching dual I'll go with experience. Take OAKLAND!
