Oakland versus Texas in American League West scrap
The Athletics and coach Ken Macha opened as favorites to roll to victory Saturday against the Rangers.
Sporting a 4-7 overall record and a 2-2 mark within the division, the Rangers aim to knock the Athletics (3-2 in the division) for a loss.
Oddsmakers like the Athletics in this one, opening the line at 175 in favor of Oakland. They are 5-6 this season, while the Rangers are 4-7. The total, which is 6-4-1 to the OVER in Athletics games and 3-7-1 in Rangers games, opened at 8.
The Athletics lost to the Rangers 6-3 as favorites. That contest went as a push against the closing total.
The Athletics need to cut down on the strikeouts and get some runners on base - they are whiffing 7 times per game. The hitters need to make some contact.
