Texas Rangers vs Oakland Athletics Betting Prediction and Best Odds September 13

Brian Ochsner offers his analysis of Tuesday's Texas Rangers vs Oakland Athletics clash at Globe Life Field. The Rangers have won 10 of 17 games between these two teams this season.

The Texas Rangers host the Oakland Athletics in the first of a two-game series. First pitch is scheduled for 8:05 PM EDT. Both teams are out of playoff contention. Texas is a -145 favorite, Oakland a +122 underdog and the over/under is set at 8.5.

The Oakland A's are a bad team. The front office had a fire sale before the season started and let go of most of their best players. Ken Waldichuk has pitched very well at the AA and AAA levels this season, but he's only had two major league starts and 10 innings.

Texas Rangers are 16th in team OPS, 17th batting average, slightly below average in staff ERA, 8th home runs and 1st in stolen bases. Martin Perez emerged as the team’s best starting pitcher. Jon Gray has been a more consistent starter, with just 20 starts and 107 innings year-to-date. Cole Ragans has an 8-5 record, a 3.04 ERA and a 1.12 WHIP in 18 starts.

Cole Ragans is the better starting pitcher for Texas Rangers against Oakland Athletics. The Rangers had a double-header yesterday and are flying to south Florida in 24 hours.
