Texas Rangers vs. Athletics Prediction
I’m on the over in this one. I think it’s going to be a high-scoring game because Eovaldi’s struggled on the road this year and his start against the Athletics last year was at home, he’s never had to go to Sutter Health Park. Severino on the flipside has had all of his starts this year on the road and had an ERA over six at home last season. Give me the over here.
