Texas and Oakland complete their 3 game series on getaway day here on Wednesday night.
The AL West rivals continue to play close games, with the A’s taking the series opener.
Texas Rangers
The Rangers have hung right there in the AL West thus far.
The Rangers sit 5 games above the .500 mark and are just 0.5 game behind the Mariners for first place. The Rangers have done it offensively, as they average nearly 4.7 runs per game on the season.
However, the road has not been kind to them. The Rangers have gone just 8-10 SU while scoring under 4 runs per game. That’s the plateau they need to be at as this team is good when they’re above 4 runs per contest.

They’ll send out Marin Perez, who is just 1-3 on the season. Perez dropped his last start despite pitching well as he finished with 6.1 innings of work to go along with just 1 earned run. He got no runs in support, as they fell 5-0. His lone win came back on 4/27 where he shut the Yankees down.
Oakland Athletics
Oakland wasn’t expected to do anything this year and while they still have plenty of work to do right now, they’re within striking distance.
Oakland sits 5.5 games back in the AL West and have won 2 straight games. The Athletics record and place in the standings is quite ominous, as they have struggled on both sides of the ball.
The Athletics have allowed 5.05 runs per game while scoring just 3.8.
