Oakland at Texas

The Rangers are a potent team, and also one that has everything going right now, as they are 9-2 over their last 11 games. They have the bats going, having scored 70 runs in the 11 games. Meanwhile, the Oakland A's have lost their way on the road where they have dropped six of their last seven with an offense that has generated just 16 runs in the seven contests, while the pitching staff was being battered for 36 runs. The Rangers are now 94-46 in their last 140 as home chalk, have won eight of their last nine against a winning team, and are 65-32 in series openers. The A's are just 5-13 in their last 18 here. Play on Texas on the runline.
