I tend to make a annual bet with my friends who happen to be giants fans (there actually objective baseball fans, not panda hat wearing schmucko's) , on who will get a better record every year (yes It has made me broke the past few years). That said, I think realistically the g-bags will have a better record overall but I am truly confident that the A's will be a better hitting team. I thought this was possible when they signed Cespedes, and from reading posts about Spring Training I think it is more than possible for them to be a better hitting team than the g-bags. Is it worth making a bet with friends?
