Texas Rangers vs Oakland Athletics Prediction: Expect a tough result here

On Sunday, Major League Baseball action will take place at Globe Life Field, featuring a matchup between the Oakland Athletics and the Texas Rangers. This will be the last game of a weekend series that consisted of three games in total. The A's were victorious in the first game by a score of three to two. Texas got back on track with a narrow victory in the match that took place on Saturday.

On Friday, the Texas Rangers took a brief 3-2 lead, but they were unable to score after the fourth inning. Corey Seager hit a home run that drove in two runs, and Nathaniel Lowe was responsible for the other run-scoring hit. Robbie Grossman contributed to the victory for the Texas Rangers by drawing three walks and driving in two runs in game two. Leody Taveras contributed two hits and one run batted in on top of that. For the championship game, Jon Gray will take the mound as the starting pitcher. This year, Gray has made 25 starts and has a record of 8-7 with a 3.85 ERA, 128 strikeouts, and 142.2 innings pitched. Gray's overall record in his previous seven starts is 2-2, and his earned run average is 5.26. The Texas Rangers are coming into this matchup having dropped 10 of their previous 12 games when they were the favorite at home. In addition, the home team has lost all 12 of its games in a row when it comes to covering the run line.

The first game of this series was played on Friday, and it was won by the Oakland Athletics, 6-3, on the strength of 10 hits by the squad as a whole. In addition to Shea Langeliers and Esteury Ruiz, Ryan Noda was responsible for two of the RBI. On Saturday, the Oakland Athletics overcame a 2-0 deficit but then promptly gave it back as they continued to lose 3-2. The game's final score was 3-2. Zack Gelof's home run drove in two runs, giving him the RBI. On Sunday, the Oakland Athletics will go with Luis Medina as their starting pitcher for the game that concludes the series. Medina has a record of 3-8 in 19 games (14 starts), with a 5.46 ERA, 87 strikeouts, and 90.2 innings pitched in total. In his last seven outings, Medina has made six starts and gone 1-1 with a 3.77 earned run average.

I'm going to have to go with the Texas Rangers in this final game. However, you could definitely build a convincing argument for either side of the issue. Gray has pitched two decent games recently, but they have not been his best, as he has allowed six earned runs across 11.0 innings on 11 hits while also walking five batters. As for Medina, he has allowed seven earned runs in a total of 11.2 innings pitched over the course of his last three starts. Although Texas got only five hits in the game on Saturday, they managed to make each one of them count. However, the Texas Rangers have only scored a total of 10 runs over the course of the last four games. During this time period, their rivals have scored 34 runs. Because of this, Texas will need to earn a crucial victory here in order to get their bats going for the final games.
