Analysis

The Rangers are coming into this game with a 9-8 record this season and they have been playing in some high scoring games recently. They have seen 9+ runs total in 3 of their last 5 games and their offense has been good in these, scoring 5+ runs in 3 of their last 5 games. They are going up against an Athletics team that is 9-8 this season and they have also been playing in high scoring games recently. They have seen 9+ runs total in 2 of their last 4 games, but that has been much stronger at home this season as they have seen 9+ runs total in 4 of their 5 home games this season. Kumar Rocker is starting for the Rangers in this game and he is 0-1 with a 4.50 ERA this season. He has not been bad this season, but he has not been great either, allowing 5 earned runs total in 10 innings between his 2 starts, and he has not been great throughout his career either. He allowed 3 earned runs in 5 innings on the road against the Dodgers in his last start and he has struggled against the A's in his career as well. He is 0-2 with an 11.37 ERA in 2 career starts against the A's, allowing 8 earned runs in 6 innings, and he was awful his only start in this ballpark as he allowed 5 earned runs in less than 2 innings pitched. J.T. Ginn is starting for the A's in this game and he is 0-0 with a 3.27 ERA this season. He was great in his last start as he allowed no runs in 4 innings on the road against the Mets, but he has been awful in 2 appearances at home this season as he allowed 2 earned runs in 2 innings and 2 earned runs in 1 inning. He struggled a lot in this ballpark last season as well, going 1-5 with a 6.85 ERA there, and he has not been great in 4 career starts against the Rangers as he is 1-1 with a 4.95 ERA. The A's have been very good on offense at home this season and they are going to score runs with Rocker's struggles, but the A's are not going to have good pitching here and the Rangers have been scoring a lot more recently. Between these two sides, there will be enough runs in this game to push it over the total.
