Go inside the dugout with the Seattle Mariners and Tacoma Rainiers

It's bad enough the A's are like Krypotnite to the Mariners, who are 1-7 against the A's this year, including 0-4 in Oakland. Not helping matters is that this series is in June, which is the A's month to soar.

The A's are 9-2 this June, which makes them one of the hottest teams in baseball. It's not surprising when you consider the A's have the best June winning percentage in all of the majors since 1992.

Here's a look at the top three teams in June since 1992:

Oakland 81-39 .675
Yankees 70-46 .603
St. Louis 67-49 .578
