After last night’s 4-3 loss to the Oakland Athletics at Globe Life Field, the Texas Rangers have now lost three in a row but the Champs get back on the rails tonight when the two teams play the middle game of their 3-game set. The expected starter for the Rangers is southpaw Cody Bradford and he is off to a great start. Bradford is 2-0 with a 2.13 ERA and a WHIP of only 0.47. The A’s, who have won 3 straight, are expected to counter with Ross Stripling. Although winless at 0-2, Stripling has pulled his weight with a 3.75 ERA and a 1.42 WHIP but Texas is the side to consider here. The Rangers are averaging over 5 runs per game, over 9 hits, have a team batting average of .272, and Oakland is 0-4 in their last 4 against a left-handed starter.
TONIGHT’S PICK: TEXAS RANGERS
