I agree with OP, these are the best guesses as to what will happen. However, Elias being Elias I am going to predict at least one of them is wrong, with no clue as to which one. Maybe Means to bullpen and/or possibly Bradish takes longer.
A's offense is feeble. 28th in OPS ,29th in BA ,29th in runs scored and 2nd in K's. Tied for sixth in homers. Pitching is middle of the pack. ERA is 4.03 to Orioles 4.00
To me, ANY series with professional major leaguers on it is a "trap series". We tend to play down to the level of our competition. This will be a tough series. Book it.
