#965 ASA PLAY ON Texas Rangers -135 over Oakland Athletics, Monday at 9:40 PM ET - The A's just got rocked 12-3 yesterday.  Oakland certainly has shown improvement early this season and has been playing .500 ball on the year but let's not get carried away just yet.  This club still has issues and here they are hosting the World Champions and we see exceptional line value here on the road favorite.  Texas favored in the -135 range as of early Monday morning and this is a strong value.  What the betting markets see is an Oakland team that had been on a win streak prior to Sunday's loss plus they see Andrew Heaney with an 0-4 record and 5.10 ERA on the season.  However, Heaney has a 1.10 WHIP and has allowed only 12 hits in his last 18 innings and 0 walks last 2 starts. Oakland is starting a struggling Alex Wood here as he has a 1.98 WHIP on the season so his 6.32 ERA could easily be even higher.  Wood is allowing about 2 baserunners per inning as you can see with that WHIP and he has not been showing any signs of turning things around in his recent starts!   Rangers are 13-9 in night games this season and Athletics are 7-11 this season under the lights.  Texas has a +24 run differential this season while Oakland has a -23 run differential this season.  Last season Oakland won 50 games and Texas won 90 games in the regular season.  The value is huge here with the road team the way we see it!  Rangers get the call in this one Monday.
