The A's haven't been playing that well lately, but they are off a huge, 2-1, road win against the Astros Thursday and now are stepping way down in class.
I see the A's riding some momentum against a Rangers squad that is 19 games below .500 and is at a huge disadvantage in the starting pitching matchup.
It's Cole Irvin versus journeyman Jordan Lyles. Irvin is 3-0 with a 2.63 ERA in his last six starts. The A's are 6-0 during these starts.
Lyles is having another Lyles' type season with a losing record and 4.98 ERA. His ERA is 5.14 at home and 5.55 during night games.
