This looks like a good spot to back the over as the Texas Rangers host the Oakland Athletics for Game 2 of a three-game set.

Left-hander Sean Manaea (4-7, 4.57 ERA) takes the ball for Oakland. He gave up three runs and 11 hits in 6 2/3 innings without factoring in the decision of a 6-4 A's win against Texas on July 27. The Rangers are batting .275 against southpaws on the season.

Yu Darvish (3-3, 2.77) tossed opposite Manaea on July 27 and was charged with a pair of runs through six innings. He's 1-8 with a 4.76 ERA in 11 career starts against Oakland and the current A's roster is batting a combined .271 over 96 at bats against the 30 year old right-hander.

The main reason for this play is however the bullpens. Both have seen a lot of action in recent games, and both rank in the bottom half of the table for ERA with Texas' the very worst in the whole American League.
