The Rangers’ bats are dictating inflated price in this one vs. the A's. They have what has been their weakest pitching link on the mound tonight in Scott Feldman. Feldman was impressive in 2009 when he delivered a 17-8 mark for the Rangers and looked to have a bright future, but has stumbled since with a 10-18 record and just 1-6 this season with a huge 6 ERA. Tyson Ross has not done any better for Oakland with a 6.02 ERA, but the numbers are misleading as he had back-to-back starts early in the season allowing 16 runs in just 7 innings. He has otherwise pitched to a 3.98 ERA in his other nine starts and has been at his best off two solid starts. The A's have been lethal vs. right-hand pitching at 9-1 in their last 10, and also as a dog where they are 6-1 as a dog from +151 to +200. The Rangers are on shaky ground behind Feldman in division play where they are 1-11 in his last 12 starts. Play on Oakland.
