Athletics vs Rangers Prediction

The Athletics won six of the previous ten H2H encounters, while this season, the A’s lead the series 5-4. I am backing the Rangers to tie it to 5-5 and sweep this series with a win on Wednesday. JP Sears played well against Texas this year and recorded two victories, but lately, he hasn’t pitched well, allowing 3+ runs in four of his previous six starts, including nine in the last two. Patrick Corbin, on the other hand, didn’t have the best of times in June (a 5.28 ERA), but he improved in July and surrendered only four runs in three starts. Go with the Rangers.
