Episode 130 -- The Oakland Athletics beat the San Francisco Giants for the fourth time in as many games on Friday night, stamping their ticket to the playoffs for 2020. Bassitt was great, but is there cause for concern looming? Matt Olson's numbers aren't great, but he keeps driving in runs--what do his advanced stats say could be coming?

In the second segment, Jason gives his take on the proposed idea of keeping the playoff format past this season, where eight teams make the playoffs from each League. There are pros and cons to implementing this new look and Jason goes through his initial reactions to the news.
