The Oakland Athletics come into their game with the Texas Rangers, having lost five of their last seven games. The Athletics offense has been struggling as of late, scoring 11 runs in their last three games and three or fewer runs in six of their last eight games. They will look to turn things around by sending Cole Irvin to the mund. So far this season, he has posted a 6-7 record with a 3.56 ERA and 73 strikeouts. The Rangers also need a win after losing five of their last eight games. The Rangers offense has been hitting a little better having scored 16 runs in their last three games and three or fewer runs in four of their last eight games. The Rangers will turn the ball over to Jordan Lyles for today's start. Has posted a 4-5 record with a 4.98 ERA and 73 strikeouts. In his career against the A's, he is 2-0 with a 2.84 ERA and 18 strikeouts.

The Athletics are 1-4 in their last 5 road games. Oakland's offense has been struggling to score runs as of later and it shows in their 4-6 record over their last 10. The Texas bats are picking up while the A's are going cold. Lyles has pitched well against the A's in his career and I like the Rangers at home as an underdog.

Play on Texas.
