]]> Even with a revamped offense and an even deeper bullpen, the A’s fell flat during their opening series against the visiting Seattle Mariners this past weekend. Expectations are high for Oakland, however, as many see them possibly unseating the Texas Rangers this year as division’s top team. In order to meet those expectations, however, the A’s must play up to their potential, meaning the team will have to play better on defense and support their starting rotation.

The A’s embark on a nine-game road-trip this week, and first up are the Toronto Blue Jays. Joining me in this series preview between the A’s and Jays is Mat Germain, Senior Editor of FanSided’s Toronto site, Jays Journal. Mat will be handling everything from a Blue Jays’ perspective in this preview. Here’s the preview:
