The Texas Rangers (67-70, 36-29 Home) will host the Athletics (53-84, 28-40 Away) in a three-game series this week at Globe Life Field, starting with Game One at 8:05 p.m. EST with coverage provided by MLB.TV.
With 25 games left in the regular season, the Rangers are two games of the Houston Astros for the AL West division title. If they can’t catch the Astros, they are also two games back in what’s becoming a tight race for the final AL wild card spot.
Jacob deGrom is scheduled to get the start for the Rangers. The veteran righty has gone 9-9 this season in 25 starts with a 4.21 ERA, 1.18 WHIP, and teams are hitting .235 against him. He has often been at his best at home, where he is 6-2 in 12 starts with a 2.67 ERA.
Gage Jump is set to start for the Athletics. Jump has gone 6-8 in 17 starts with a 4.69 ERA, 1.46 WHIP, and teams have hit .259 against him. However, he has often brought his best stuff on the road, where he is 3-3 in seven starts with a 3.49 ERA and a .247 OBA. IN his last start vs. Texas (August 14 at home), he went 5 1/3 innings and gave up three hits, four walks, and three earned runs.

Our Texas Rangers vs Athletics Prediction
From a starting pitcher perspective, I’m not sure anyone has an advantage. I know I should say Texas does with deGrom on the mound, but in his last start he gave up eight runs, and he’s allowed 5+ in three of his last seven starts (which makes him hard to rely on). Jump has also given up 5+ in three of his last seven starts. The A’s have hit .273 over the last week to .229 for the Rangers, but both teams generated 22 runs. So, it looks like it could be a pretty even game—until it gets turned over to the bullpens (A’s have the worst ERA in baseball at 5.57).
Our A’s vs. Texas Pick: Rangers -1.5
