Oakland at Texas

Texas won on a hit by pitch last night in the bottom of the 10th inning and now Yu Darvish takes the mound for the Rangers against Sean Manaea.  Darvish has had his troubles against Oakland as he is 1-8 with a 4.76 ERA against the Athletics in his career. He had a decent outing against them on July 27, allowing two runs in six innings, but the Rangers still lost the game by a 6-4 score. Texas has lost five of Darvish's last seven starts overall. Manaea comes off a win over Seattle when he gave up three runs and three hits in six innings and that followed a good performance against the Cubs when he didn't get the decision after allowing two runs in six innings. Manaea has a 3.06 ERA against Texas in 17 2/3 innings this season and Oakland has won five of Manaea's last seven starts against winning teams. Take advantage of the great line value in this matchup and play the Athletics.
