Our Athletics vs Texas Rangers Prediction
The Rangers are the clear favorite in this game; however, they still look to be the best betting option. This goes directly to the home/away splits between the two starting pitchers. Rocker has made eight away appearances this season (six starts), in which he has allowed 17 earned runs over 40.1 innings. Jump, on the other hand, has made eight home starts this season, where he has allowed 28 runs (26 earned) over 38.0 innings.
It is true that Rocker has been fairly inconsistent this season, but because Jump has been woeful, especially at home, our Athletics vs Texas Rangers prediction is: Texas Rangers ML.
