The Athletics are set to continue their homestand with a series against the Cleveland Guardians which will begin on Friday night and run through the weekend. The A’s have won their last three series, dropping just a single game to each of the Seattle Mariners, Texas Rangers and Kansas City Royals, which moved them into the top spot in the AL West. They currently sit 1.5 games above the second-place Mariners.  On the other hand, the Guardians have lost three-straight series. They picked up a single win against the Houston Astros, Toronto Blue Jays and Tampa Bay Rays in those series, but still hold onto the top spot in the AL Central, albeit just barely. They’re currently tied with the Detroit Tigers with 16-16 records. Projected Pitchers: Friday - Joey Cantillo (1-1, 2.97 ERA) vs J.T.…
