Athletics vs Rangers Prediction
The Rangers are the better team on paper, so they’re worth a look in the underdog role. I just can’t bring myself to get behind Corbin. Yes, Corbin has been decent through 9.1 innings this season, allowing just four runs.
However, Corbin has arguably been the worst starting pitcher over the last few years. Since 2021, Corbin has had a 5.69 ERA and 1.53 WHIP. We’ve been fading Corbin for years, and a couple of OK starts this season don’t move the needle much. Bido has been better in a larger sample size, as he’s allowed six earned runs in 20.2 innings. I just want nothing to do with Corbin, and it’s been the case for years now. Give me the Athletics.
