The at Texas

The Athletics are improving from where they were just two years ago. They are currently 1.5 games off the pace set by the Seattle Mariners in the AL West. Texas comes in with an identical 15-14 record., so this series is for seperation. The Athletics are over .500 on the season despite scoring 21 fewer runs than their opponents, so they have been lucky in the early going. Texas has played its best baseball at home where they are 10-4 on the season. Oakland has given up 144 runs this season, and this looks like a good place for the Rangers to get things going offensively. Make the play on Texas.
