The Texas Rangers and Oakland Athletics face off on Saturday in an American League MLB showdown at RingCentral Coliseum. On Friday it was the Rangers that won 8-1.
The Rangers come into this game with a 4-9 record overall but they hope to start a winning streak here. The Rangers scored five runs in the second inning on Friday, and they got good pitching. The Rangers offense has been decent most of the season, but the pitching staff has been an issue. Jonah Heim has been the top player for the Rangers hitting two home runs and driving in nine RBI’s.
On the other side of this matchup is the Oakland A’s who sit with an 8-7 record overall but they have lost two of their last three games. In the two losses the A’s only scored one total run, and they need to get the offense going here. Seth Brown has been the top player hitting two home runs and driving in 12 RBI’s. If the offense is good here, the A’s will win.
Getting the start for the Rangers will be Martin Perez and he has had some struggles this season. In eight innings so far this season, he has given up seven runs.
On the mound for the Oakland Athletics is Frankie Montas who sit with a 2-1 record and an ERA of 3.63. Montas has had 17 strikeouts so far this season. In his last start against the Orioles, he went six innings giving up two hits and one run.
The Rangers are 28-58 in their last 86 games overall. The A’s are 6-1 in their last seven home games. The Rangers are 19-39 in the last 58 meetings. The over is 7-1 in the last eight meetings. The over is 4-1 in the last five meetings in Oakland.
The better pitcher in this game is Frankie Montas and he is going to lock down in this game. Look for the Rangers bats to be ice cold again in this game and that will be the difference as the A’s get the job done. Back Oakland on the money line.
