Key Storylines
Pitching Matchup
Jacob deGrom (10-6, 2.79 ERA) takes the mound for the Rangers in this contest. deGrom is averaging over a strikeout per inning this season and his ability to miss bats has helped him to keep his WHIP below 1.00 for the year. J.T. Ginn (2-5, 4.96 ERA) starts for the A’s today. Ginn has been struggling with consistency and is facing a potent Rangers lineup. That could be a recipe for disaster for the home team.
Key Players
- The Rangers had 17 hits as a team on Saturday and Josh Jung had three of those hits. He will be a key player once again for the Rangers today.
- With Texas doing so much hitting yesterday, the bullpen of the Athletics have to be better for them to have a chance to win this contest.
Recent Team Streaks
- The Rangers have won four games in a row coming into this matchup.
- The A’s have lost two straight games after winning three in a row against the Detroit Tigers.
Best Player Props
| Player | Prop |
|---|---|
| Jacob deGrom | Over 6.5 strikeouts |
| Adolis García | Over 0.5 home runs |
| Corey Seager | Over 1.5 total bases |

- This will be the final game played between these teams in the 2025 regular season.

Rangers vs Athletics Model Projection

- Win Probability: Rangers 63.9%, Athletics 36.1%
Final Thoughts
Jacob deGrom pitching for Texas today should give the Rangers a huge advantage over their hosts. The Athletics don’t have any arms that can reliably outperform deGrom and that should lead to the Rangers securing a series sweep with a win today. I recommend laying the runline with the Rangers, as they should win this contest on the road with some margin.
