Rangers vs Athletics Prediction

I’m on the over here. I think we have a much higher-scoring game on the board on Tuesday, as the Athletics should have more success against deGrom, as it’s tough for a pitcher to replicate success when facing the same lineup in back-to-back starts. On the other side, Lopez has had limited action to this point, and I think the Rangers can still do some damage here against him and this Athletics bullpen, whether it’s a long relief appearance or a traditional bullpen game. Give me the over here.
