This season the A’s are 1-0 at home and the Rangers are 0-1 on the road.
In their last games the A’s beat the Rangers 8-0 in yesterday’s game, which was the first of the season for both teams.
The A’s got off to a great start this season with their opening win over the Rangers where Oakland starter Sonny Gray took a no-hitter into the 8th inning in the 8-0 win. That win snapped a 10-game losing streak for the A’s on opening day. In this game they are, again, the home betting favorite.
The Rangers lost yesterday, but have taken 7 of their last 10 games against the A’s in Oakland.
Oakland starter Hahn was with the Padres last season and was 7-4 with an ERA of 3.07. After his first start last season where he struggled he went 7-2 with a 2.08 ERA in 10 starts before struggling again in his last outing of the season.

Last season Lewis was 10-14 with an ERA of 5.18 and in his career facing the A’s he has had success going 8-4 with an ERA of 3.32 in 20 starts.
The A’s are off to a 1-0 start and the Rangers are only 4-9 in Lewis’ last 13 starts vs. a team with a winning record.
Hahn is a right-hand pitcher and the Rangers have only won 8 of their last 31 road games facing righties.
Ben Zobrist was one of the bigger acquisitions the A’s made in the off-season and he had a HR and a double in yesterday’s game.
