Key Stats
Texas Rangers
Texas will have Jon Grey on the mound for the series finale against the A’s. Grey pitched 3.2 innings, giving up two runs and striking out three. The Rangers hitting will be led by Corey Seager with a team-high batting average of .341 and a high OBP of .426, and Adolis Garcia leading in team home runs with four and team RBIs with 13 so far. Marcus Semien also contributes to the team leading in hits with 15 hits so far this season.
Oakland Athletics

Oakland hitting will consist of JJ Bleday leading the team in average and hits with a .277 batting average, with 13 hits. Shea Langeliers is also contributing, leading the team in home runs and RBIs with four homers and seven RBIs, and Zack Gelof leading the team in OBP with a .327.
Game Prediction
The Rangers are coming off ending a losing streak after the win last night, so they will continue to go off that momentum. Texas will do a lot to keep this streak going and have a small winning start in April and Oakland is the perfect target. Even with the game one win against Texas in the series, Oakland is still a weak opponent to beat. For the series winner, Texas has a lot to gain from beating down a weaker opponent.
Final Pick
Texas Rangers ML (-198)
