Athletics vs Texas Rangers Prediction

Severino has allowed just one run in 14 road innings, and the Athletics have played better baseball over the last few weeks. You can make a case for the A’s in this spot. However, the Rangers have to string wins together at some point, and Eovaldi is an all-star caliber pitcher when he’s right. Well, Eovaldi is right. He’s allowed 21 hits and seven earned runs in his last 30.2 innings while striking out 41. Eovaldi has two shutout starts in his last five starts, and he’s struck out at least six in each of his first six starts this season. The price isn’t anything crazy. Give me the Rangers with a red-hot Eovaldi on the mound.
