The Giants and A's took "taking advantage of weaker teams" to a whole new level this week, sweeping the woeful Astros and Indians, respectively.
The A's pounded the Indians 12-7 early this morning, hitting four long balls against Cleveland pitching.
As for the Giants, they won comeback-style again in Houston, thanks to Pablo Sandoval and Hunter Pence.
MLB Standings - Giants (74-57) 4 and 1/2 games ahead of Dodgers, A's (73-57) a game up in the AL Wild Card, four games back of Rangers in division.

Switching gears to the NFL, as the Raiders and Niners wrapped up their preseason tonight.
Colin Kaepernick impressed for the 49ers, who hammered the Chargers 35-3 in Candlestick.
But it was a different story for the Raiders, who were the recipient of a good ole-fashioned beatdown. It was an unimpressive performance overall, as the Seahawks thwarted Oakland 21-3.
