This season the Rangers are 20-15 at home and the A’s are 21-18 on the road.
The A’s are only 5-5 in their last 10 games, but the Rangers have not been able to make up any ground, as they are really struggling. They are only 5-12 in June and they have lost 7 of their last 8 games.
In losing 7 of their last 8 games the Rangers have a combined 10 runs.
Tommy Milone (6-6 3.61 ERA) gets the start for the A’s tonight and in his last outing he was decent giving up 2 earned runs in 6 innings of work, but got little run support and took a loss against the Seattle Mariners.
For the Rangers Justin Grimm (5-5 5.59 ERA) is on the hill and in his last outing he had the worst start of the season giving up 7 earned runs in 7 innings in a loss to the Toronto Blue Jays. [dfads params=’groups=10&limit=1&return_javascript=0′]
Milone is 1-1 with a 2.18 ERA in his last 3 starts and has allowed 2 or fewer runs in 8 of his 14 starts.
Grimm has really been struggling going 0-2 with an 11.40 ERA in his last 3 starts.
Oakland’s Brandon Moss leads the team in HR (13) and he is swinging a hot bat batting .357 (10 for 28) with 4 homers and 7 RBI in his last 6 games.
The Rangers need to start playing well, as after this series they have a tough stretch where they face the Cardinals, Yankees, and Reds.
In some betting trends for this American League West match up the A’s are 23-8 in their last 31 overall, 1-4 in Milone’s last 5 starts as a road favorite, and they have an Under record of 3-1-1 in their last 5 road games.
The Rangers are -7 in their last 8 overall, 1-7 in their last 8 home games, and they have an Under record of 7-1-1 in their last 9 games.
Jason’s Pick: I have to go with the A’s in this one since Grimm has really struggled in his last few starts and the Rangers’ offense has been stagnant.
