Texas at Oakland

Oakland has been struggling lately and has fallen out of first place, but the Athletics did salvage a 6-2 win at San Francisco on Sunday, and now they are back home after a 10-game trip. James Kaprielian is 4-1 with a 2.86 ERA, and he has allowed only 14 runs on 30 hits in 44 innings this season. The right-hander has not allowed a run in 13 innings at home while giving up four hits for an .093 opponent batting average. Mike Foltynewicz is lucky to still be in the Major Leagues as he is 1-7, and Texas has lost seven of his past nine starts. Foltynewicz is 0-3 with a 7.40 ERA on the road where hitters are batting .349 against him. The Rangers have lost 46 of their past 59 road games, and they are 19-43 the past 62 meetings with Oakland.
