Athletics Homestand Previews Future for Franchise

The A's have been sitting around .500 baseball for most of this season, and could look to add some pieces in the coming weeks to build towards being a playoff team this season. The team has shown interest in Royals' starter Kris Bubic, and could also look to target some bullpen arms to bolster their staff.

Ultimately, the club's goal is to ensure they have playoff experience and bring a winning atmosphere to Las Vegas's fans. If you are a Vegas sports fan, now's the perfect time to start getting in on the A's baseball.

What To Expect From Series in Las Vegas Ballpark

The A's current home, Sutter Health Park in West Sacramento, will be criticized for being a hitter-friendly ballpark. However, the A's will head to an even more hitter-friendly stadium in the Las Vegas Ballpark.

The Las Vegas Ballpark is home to some crazy final scores and inflated ERA's. The wind, the hot weather, and the small stadium make it very easy for teams to hit lots of long balls.

On Saturday, the final score of the Aviators' game in the Las Vegas Ballpark was 21-10. A's infielders Jacob Wilson and Max Muncy were both in the lineup in that game as they both get ready to rejoin the A's at some point in the next week or so.

For Muncy specifically, we could see him back during this series against Milwaukee.

Regardless, the hitter-friendly atmosphere should bring some high-scoring games and could allow some of the cold A's bats to get back on track. No better place, and certainly a good time as the team comes off a series loss against Houston.

Familiar Home for Many A's Hitters

As mentioned, the Las Vegas Ballpark is the home of the A's Triple-A team, the Aviators. Most of the A's lineup is homegrown, which means lots of them have played for the Aviators and played at that ballpark.

On the current roster, Brent Rooker, Jeff McNeil, and Alika Williams are the only three hitters who did not come up with the A's and play for the Aviators.

However, all of the other A's hitters should be very familiar with the site, and that familiarity should help the A's showcase some power in this homestand.

The Brewers are a good baseball team, so it certainly won't be easy for the A's to limit their bats, but we should all get treated to some high-scoring games under the lights in Las Vegas.
