The Rangers are coming into this game with a 21-23 record overall and they are 11-11 in their road games this season where they will be in this game. They are coming into this game on a 3 game winning streak. They just split their 2-game series against the Los Angeles Angels 1-1 and they are playing the series finale of a 4-game series with the Athletics on Sunday. This will be the 4th game of the series on Sunday with the 3rd game still to be played on Saturday. Taylor Hearn is the starting pitcher for them on Saturday while Dane Dunning is on the mound for them here on Sunday. He is 1-3 with a 4.32 ERA this season. His team lost 3 of their last 4 games this season with him starting. In his last start, he allowed 5 ER, 1 HR, and 1 BB with 8 Ks on 5 hits in 11 IP against the Houston Astros. They scored 10 runs in their last series averaging 5 runs scored per game in that span and they allowed 7 runs against them averaging 3.5 runs allowed per game.

 

The Athletics are coming into this game with a 19-29 record overall and they are 6-16 in their home games this season where they will be in this game. They are coming into this game on a 2 game losing streak. They just won their 3-game series against the Seattle Mariners 2-1 and they are playing the series finale of a 4-game series with the Rangers on Sunday. This will be the 4th game of the series on Sunday with the 3rd game still to be played on Saturday. Rookie pitcher Zach Logue is the starting pitcher for them on Saturday while James Kaprielian will be on the mound for them here on Sunday. He is 0-2 with a 5.48 ERA this season. His team won their last 3 straight games this season with him as a starter. In his last start, he allowed 5 earned runs, 1 homer, and 1 BB with 3 strikeouts on 7 hits in 5 innings played against the Seattle Mariners. They scored 17 runs in their last series averaging just over 5 runs scored per game in that span and they allowed 14 runs against them averaging just under 5 runs allowed per game.

 

The Rangers are coming into this game as a pick 'em with the current betting odds. They have been playing very well in their recent games as they have been scoring a lot of runs in their games and they already won the first two games of this series. They are going up against an A's team that has not been playing well recently and have been losing a lot of their games. Kaprielian is starting for the A's here and he has not been pitching well this season while Dunning is on the mound for the Rangers and he has been good this season other than a few slip ups. The rangers have been heating up though and it will be tough for the A's to stop their bats here. The best bet here is on the Rangers to win this game.

"Instead of panicking, it was one at-bat after another. You hope to win every game 7-2 or 7-0, but when you find yourself tied in back-to-back games in the ninth inning, yesterday against a good pitcher and today against their closer, and you find a way to score three, that gives us a ton of confidence." - Chris Woodward after his team’s win against the A’s on Friday.

 

 

"We'll see how his body handles the workload." - Mark Kotsay on Stephen Vogt after his team’s loss against the Rangers on Friday.
