Texas Rangers vs. Oakland Athletics
Monday, May 06, 2024 – 09:40 PM ET at Oakland Coliseum
Oakland Will Come Back To Life
The Athletics are 17-18 after winning a series over the Marlins. A win tonight would put them back at .500 for the season. However, Oakland’s schedule will only get tougher from here on out.
The Athletics are hitting just a .158 ISO and wOBA of .301 since last season against lefties using the projected lineup. They’ll face Andrew Heaney, a lefty, who has allowed a .295 wOBA throughout the season.
Alex Wood Should Get Rocked
Although Heaney hasn’t been perfect, he’s the better lefty between him and Alex Wood, who will start for the Athletics.
Wood has allowed a .231 ISO and wOBA of .423 to 109 righties this season. He’s also allowed 31.4% of line drives and has induced only 35.3% of ground balls this year.
The Pick
The Rangers match up better in every single way, despite being on the road. Texas at -135 MLB odds seems like a gift.
