This is a 7* on OAK

Texas upset Oakland 5-4 last night. That didn’t sit well with us as we played the A’s. The home team scored first (in the bottom of the first), then immediately retook the lead in the bottom of the fourth after allowing the Rangers to tie the game up in the top half of that inning. But from there, Texas took control. The visitors scored one run in the 5th, one in the 6th and two more in the 9th. Oakland tried to rally with two of their own in the bottom of the 9th, but came up one short. It was the Rangers’ first win all year following an off-day (previously 0-10) and the A’s first loss (previously 10-0) in that very situation. The A’s - despite being just 3-7 in their L10 games - remain monster favorites on the money line Wednesday and we can’t help but think they will bounce back. The pitching matchup for tonight is a rematch of a game played last Thursday with Allard going for Texas and Bassitt going for the A’s. Bassitt won the first go-around by allowing just one run in seven innings. Allard allowed four in six innings. Bassitt is currently riding a career-best eight game win streak as he has not dropped a decision since early April. Don’t overthink this one too much. Play on OAKLAND
