Rangers offense is Picking Up

The Rangers’ offense is picking up, and they scored eight runs on Tuesday. Josh Smith, Wyatt Langford, Marcus Semien, and Jake Burger all hit home runs to pace the squad. Semien also drove in four RBIs. Patrick Corbin got the start for the Rangers, and he went five innings, giving up seven hits and two runs. The Rangers did use five bullpen members, which could hurt them in this game. 

The Rangers are averaging 3.0 runs while their pitching is giving up 3.68 runs per game. The offense is ranked 29th in the league, while the pitching is ranked 6th. It’s shocking for a team that has a run differential that is ranked 21st in the MLB that they still have a winning record, but they are still winning games. Getting the start for the Rangers will be Kumar Rocker, who sits with a 1-2 record and an ERA of 6.38. In his last start against the LA Angels, he went seven innings, giving up five hits and three runs. 

Athletics Need Better Pitching

The Athletics really need to find a way to get some better pitching after they really struggled on Tuesday. Osvaldo Bido got the start, and he had some major issues going 5.1 innings, giving up eight hits and eight runs. The offense was able to lean on the home run ball, but the pitching just ended up being too bad. 

The Athletics are averaging 4.32 runs while their pitching is giving up 5.14 runs per game. The offense is ranked 16th, while the pitching is ranked 26th. Getting the start for Oakland will be JP Sears, who sits with a 2-2 record and an ERA of 3.16. In his last start against the Chicago White Sox, he went six innings, giving up three hits and zero runs. 

Texas Rangers vs Athletics Prediction

Give me the A’s here. At some point, the Rangers’ stats are going to need to improve, or the losses will start catching up with them, and that’s exactly what will happen here. The Rangers send out Rocker to the mound, and he has had his issues this season, sitting with an ERA of 6.38. Compared that to Sears, who has been strong this season and in his last start gave up zero runs. The Rangers’ offense is going to be awful here, and the A’s are going to come out on top. Back the A’s.
