Oakland at Texas

Oakland is 18-29. Texas is 30-19, leading their division, and off to their second-best start in club history. Dallas Braden has been solid for the Athletics but despite his good pitching, the A's are 4-5 in his starts including 1-3 on the road. Meanwhile the Rangers are 3-1 in Kevin Millwood's home starts. In his five home games, Millwood has put up a 2.52 ERA. The Rangers average 6.3 runs per game at home and 6.6 per game vs. LHP like Braden. The A's average 4.0 runs per game on the road. Oaklan d is just 6-17 this season vs. winning teams and 8-29 datiing back to last season when facing a pitcher with an ERA of 4.00 or better. I like Texas to get the sweep.
