The Athletics have been competitive, hovering around a .500 record and ranking in the top 10 in hitting categories.

Despite this, Oakland has shown offensive prowess, averaging 4.42 runs per game. With a current power ranking of 27, the Athletics are looking to continue their success against the Rangers.

Texas Rangers Analysis

On Monday evening, Patrick Corbin will be the starting pitcher for the Texas Rangers as they begin a homestand. Corbin has been performing decently, with two wins in his last three outings and a 3.77 ERA. The Rangers have struggled recently, dropping games against the Dodgers and Giants, and have not been producing much at the plate.

Despite their offensive struggles, the Rangers have a strong pitching staff, with a 3.25 ERA, ranking them sixth in the league.

Texas Rangers Look to Extend Dominance Over Sacramento Athletics in Home Matchup

The Sacramento Athletics are facing stiff competition in their upcoming matchup against the Texas Rangers, who have been performing exceptionally well at home with a 10-3 record this season. Despite a recent loss to the Brewers in their road series, the Athletics are hopeful with solid pitching from J.P. Sears, who has shown consistency on the mound. However, the A’s bullpen has struggled with a 4.02 ERA compared to the Rangers' 3.32 ERA, making their relief pitching a concern. Rangers pitcher Patrick Corbin has been particularly impressive, only conceding two runs in his recent matchup with the A’s and securing wins in his past two starts. This upcoming game will see the Rangers seeking redemption for their prior road series loss to the Athletics.
