Let’s analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s MLB odds around the Rangers vs. A’s odds and make our expert MLB picks and predictions for the best bets.
Season series: Rangers lead 7-5
This is a rather historic game. It’s the end of an era. The A’s will play their final game at Oakland Coliseum. The organization has played baseball in the city since 1968. It will temporarily play the next 3 seasons in West Sacramento before a new stadium is built in Las Vegas for the start of the 2028 season.
The Rangers posted a 5-1 victory Wednesday as short +108 underdogs with the Under (7) cashing. Texas, the defending World Champs, but eliminated from postseason contention, is just 5-9 in the past 14 outings, while still cashing the Over at a 4-1 clip in the previous 5 games.
