The Texas Rangers and Oakland Athletics play the second game of a three-game set tonight on the West Coast. We break down this matchup with our Rangers-Athletics picks.
Among Saturday's primetime MLB action is an AL West showdown between the Texas Rangers and Oakland Athletics.
The Rangers (53-39 against the spread, 44-42-6 Over/Under) were able to start the second half of the season with a blowout win over the Miami Marlins. While out of it in the AL West race, they’re still within striking distance of a Wild Card spot.
This matchup will actually be the fourth game after the MLB All-Star break for the Athletics (47-49 ATS, 38-51-7 O/U). After splitting a makeup doubleheader with Detroit on Thursday, the A's used a three-run fifth inning to slip past Texas 5-4 on Friday.'
