Krest’s prediction: A’s keep Rangers’ bats quiet.

The Texas Rangers travel to Sacramento to face the A’s in a battle between the two teams tied for first in the AL West.
Texas started its West Coast trip losing two of three to the Dodgers, while the A’s return home after winning five of six in New York.
The A’s are mowing people down on the mound, which is why my Rangers vs. A’s predictions and MLB picks have the Athletics to win outright.
Who will win Rangers vs A’s today: A’s moneyline (+110)
The A’s pitching had been average at best in the early going, but they found a new level in New York.
Facing the Yankees and Mets, two teams that started their series with the Athletics over .500, A’s pitchers threw three shutouts in the last four games.
Opposing batters have hit .164 with a .453 OPS over that span. Luis Severino will try to keep the streak going.
The Texas Rangers gave up 16 runs in three days to the Dodgers. Their offense may be down a man, as Wyatt Langford hurt his quad on Friday and hasn’t played since.
COVERS INTEL: Both teams rank in the Top 10 in batter strikeouts this season, and each starter is averaging over 11.0 K/9 innings.Enjoying Covers content? Add us as a preferred source on your Google account 
Rangers vs A’s Over/Under pick: Under 8.5 (-118)
The A’s have needed that strong pitching, because they scored just six total runs in the three shutout wins. They had 11 in the fourth game and have been an all-or-nothing offense this season.
In 15 games, the A’s have scored 10 or more four times, two or less seven times.
Severino struck out seven in five innings in a 3-2 A’s win over the Yankees last time out. Rangers starter Nathan Eovaldi struggled in his first two starts but looked much better in beating the Mariners, striking out seven in six innings.
