The Athletics take on the Texas Rangers at Sutter Health Park on Thursday evening as they look to complete a series sweep over their AL West rivals. 

Shea Langeliers and Jacob Wilson were the stars of the show in last night's 6-5 Game Two victory for the Athletics, as their homers enabled the hosts to establish a commanding 6-2 lead at the end of the sixth innings. Despite a spirited comeback from the Rangers, the Athletics held out to secure a vital 6-5 victory that moved them to the top of the AL West standings. 

That narrow victory was the Athletics seventh win in their last eight games over the Rangers, so they will go into Thursday evening's clash full of confidence, as they look to extend their early-season advantage at the top of the division to three games.

Our Athletics vs Texas Rangers Prediction

Last night's 6-5 scoreline is slightly deceptive, because, in truth, the Athletics were always in control of the contest and never looked like relinquishing their lead in the second half of the game. 

The Rangers were once again slightly short of their best, and whilst we ecpect them to improve as the season progresses, their current form is a cause for concern. 

Because of that, plus the Athletics solid recent displays, we are backing the home side to complete a clean sweep and move to 11-8 for the season.

Our prediction for Athletics vs Texas Rangers is: Athletics to win.
