Key Stats
Texas Rangers
Nathan Eovaldi (RHP) will get the start for the Rangers in today’s game. Eovaldi has started the season 1-0 with a 1.38 ERA and has struck out 11 batters. Corey Seager leads the team with a .368 batting average, 14 hits, and an OBP of .442. Adolis Garcia has hit a team-high four home runs with 11 RBIs.
Oakland Athletics
The Athletics are expected to start Alex Wood (LHP) for today’s game. Wood has started the season 0-1 with a 9.72 ERA and 10 strikeouts. JJ Bleday has recorded hits and 11 hits and is batting .282, which leads the team. JD Davis has crushed two home runs, and Zack Gelof has an OBP of .349.
Game Prediction
The A’s have won two games in a row, but that should come to an end tonight against one of the American League’s best teams tonight. Nathan Eovaldi looked like in his first two starts of the season and should dominate the poor Oakland lineup. Look for Corey Seager and Adolis Garcia to continue to mash at home. The Rangers should snap their two game losing streak in convincing fashion against the worst roster in baseball.
Final Pick
Texas Rangers -1.5 (+102), O9 (+100)
