Texas at Oakland

The Texas Rangers and the Oakland A's find themselves deadlocked in the AL West in a race that looks to be heading down to the final days. The A's have gotten far more out of  Bartolo Colon than anyone expected, but he may be running out of gas. Colon has not won in four straight starts and has failed to make it to the 6th inning since July 31st. Martin Perez has been carrying the Rangers' staff, as he looks for his 6th straight win, and has won each of his last four starts on the road. The Rangers have been toughing it out on the road where they are 12-3 in their last 15, but have shown focus in division games where they are 38-13 in their last 51. AThe 's have lost Colon's last four starts and stand at 1-4 in their last five to a total of 6.5 or less. Go with Texas.
