Athletics vs Rangers Prediction

I’m on the Rangers here. Normally I’m willing to take a shot on the Athletics as a home dog, and there will be plenty of times to back them in that role. However, it’s not going to be often that we’re going to be able to get Jacob deGrom at prices like these, and the main struggles for the Rangers this season had been against solid lefties like JP Sears on Wednesday. The Rangers’ bullpen has also been excellent as of late and while the Athletics’ has been as well, I think the Rangers’ bats bounce back and finish the series with a win on Thursday. Give me the Rangers in this one.
