Texas Rangers vs Athletics Prediction
The Rangers are going to be favored obviously, because deGrom is on the mound. deGrom has been solid through 21.2 innings, allowing 16 hits and eight runs, and he’s coming off a brilliant showing against the Dodgers. deGrom is still working his way back and has walked five in his last 11 innings. However, the Rangers aren’t a team I’m excited to back with big juice when they’ve scored three or fewer runs in seven of their last 11 games. Also, Ginn has held his own through 10 innings, allowing nine hits and four runs while striking out 13. Small sample size, but Ginn has shown promise through eight career MLB starts. I’ll take a shot with the Athletics and the plus money.
