OAKLAND A’S VS TEXAS RANGERS PREDICTION

The A’s have been struggling lately losing 4 of the last 5 games while scoring a total of 13 runs. The A’s have lost 5 of the last 7 and 8 of the last 10. Oakland has won only 1 of the last 6 games against right-handed pitchers. The Rangers have won 2 of the last 3 games while scoring 16 runs. Foltynewicz only gave up two runs in two recent starts against the A’s. Oakland is dealing with injuries with Canha, Moreland, and Pinder all out at this time.  The public is pounding the A’s with 78% of the tickets but we see the line moving in the opposite direction indicating big sharp money coming in. Look for the Rangers to get the win here.
