Texas Rangers vs Oakland Athletics Prediction

Neither the Rangers nor the Athletics have anything to play for, so motivation will be key. Nathan Eovaldi has above-average stuff, but he's not having a great month, and the Athletics have been able to string together offense here and there. Mitch Spence gives up a lot of traffic, but he's been able to pitch around it recently and is at his best at home. If forced to pick a side, I'll side with the Athletics at home and the cheap price.
