Latest Odds : OAK -167 Total 11
The Athletics have battled back to reach a record that is just over the five hundred mark. The Rangers are 3 games over the five hundred mark on the year. However, this game on Sunday could be interesting as both of the teams looking to avoid the bullpen calls and player substitions as they played in a double header on Saturday. So look for both of the teams to be a little bit tired and the game really hinges on whose starter can go deeper in the game.
Matt Chapman is the hitter the Athletics have relied on for run production this year. Chapman has been able to hit a total of 16 homers and driven in 36 runners. Marcus Semien has been able to hit at a clip of .270 on the year for the Athletics. Joey Gallo has been able to hit a total of 17 homers. Hunter Pence has managed to drive in 41 runners on the year and Elvis Andrus has managed to hit at a clip of .302 on the season.

Frankie Montas is starting the game for the Athletics and that could help the team out quite a bit. Montas has been able to post a 7-2 record and a 2.83 ERA so far. However, he can go deep in the games as he has thrown 70 innings with 69 strikeouts, but has walked 19 batters and allowed 63 hits this year.
Drew Smyly is the pitcher the Rangers are planning on putting on the mound here. Smyly has posted a 1-4 record and a 7.93 ERA. He has only managed to get 42 innings on the year with 41 strikeouts, but has walked 29 batters and allowed 49 hits.

Free Betting Pick: Oakland Athletics -167
The Athletics are putting out Montas on the mound and he will be able to go deeper in the game here compared to Smyly who will get roughed up by the Athletics hitters. Look for the game to go to the Rangers bullpen early and with the doubleheader on Saturday they are already tired and that will cost them the game. Final Score, Oakland Athletics win 5-2.
