Athletics vs. Texas Rangers Prediction

I’m on the Athletics in this one. The Rangers have been better against lefties in the last couple of weeks, but I’m still not sold on them as a whole and I’m high on this Athletics team as a unit this season. The Athletics have a solid arm going here in Springs and Gore’s had some serious issues in his career against these A’s. I think the A’s break through and get the win here so give me the Athletics.
