The MLB AL West Division will offer such an amazing match between Texas Rangers and Oakland Athletics for next Saturday, August 31st. This confrontation corresponds to the second game of the series between these teams and will bring the opportunity for the Athletics to become one of the biggest weekend outsiders.
However, Texas Rangers must leave everything on the pitch as they currently are 9.0 games behind Houston Astros and 9.5 games behind the Wild Card spots. With the victory in mind, Marcus Semien is expected to carry on with his impressive level as he has scored 81 runs and has connected 129 hits throughout the season. On Cody Bradford’s case, he’ll most likely open this game, being important to remember that he has accomplished 44 strikeouts during the 49 innings he has disputed so far.
Meanwhile, Oakland Athletics is 14.0 games behind Houston Astros, so they really don’t have any big expectations on coming back. In addition, it must be noted that their offensive has almost fully depended on Brent Rooker’s performance, who has scored 66 runs and connected 31 home runs this season. In addition, Joey Estes is probably opening this match, so he must try to be more effective to increase his strikeout index after accomplishing 76 strikeouts in his 101 played innings.
