Pick

Texas comes into this game playing very well this season and they are currently leading the AL West. The Rangers have been one of the better hitting teams so far this season, which is not a good sign for Oakland. The Athletics have the worst team ERA in baseball, which is over seven. Oakland was out score by a total of 22-8 in their last series. Texas is starting Nathan Eovaldi, who has allowed zero earned runs over his last two starts (17IP). Oakland has not officially announced a starting pitcher for this game, but I like the Rangers to have a big day against whoever they decide to start. I am taking Texas -1.5 here.
