Texas Rangers vs Oakland Athletics Prediction

I'm not laying juice with either the Rangers or Athletics, two teams that have nothing to play for with less than a week left. I will however grab plus money with the Athletics, a team playing its last couple of games in Oakland and playing in front of a packed stadium for a change. The fans showing up provides a boost to this Athletics squad. Last night's walk-off win should also have a carry-over effect. Give me a more favorable price with the Athletics.
