Oakland at Texas

The Texas Rangers may seem like an odd choice here as they have been 1-7 in their last eight, and have been pounded for 34 runs by Oakland who is looking to sweep the four-game series in Arlington. Oakland's hot offense may be an indicator of a rough game on their hands tonight, as not too many teams are going down without a fight, when having been swept four straight at home. History tends to agree with those thoughts. A home team having lost the first three games of a series, where they allowed more than 32 total runs, actually has a 31.5% ROI in Game 4. The Rangers wheel out the ageless one in Bartolo Colin who actually has a positive ROI in his 18 starts this season. Go with Texas.
