MARCO\\\'S MLB GAME OF THE WEEK
Game: (975) Texas Rangers at (976) Oakland Athletics
Date/Time: Aug 27 2017 4:05 PM EDT
Betting Line Provider: Westgate
Play Rating: 4%
Play: Oakland Athletics -110
PLAY: (976) OAKLAND -110 (Westgate)
RATING: 4% PLAY
The Oakland A’s are 15 games under .500 overall but in day games they are 25-24 this year. Texas made a nice run a few weeks ago trying to get back into the playoff race but are now struggling to score runs. They have scored 3 runs or less in 4 of their last 5 games. This season if they have scored 3 runs or less in 2 straight games they are 1-11 in the next game. My numbers have Oakland winning 6-4.

Our selection is on the Texas Rangers
LISTED PITCHERS: Griffin/Cotton
The Rangers play the finale of their three-game series with the Athletics looking to salvage a victory as Oakland has won the first two games. We believe they will do just that. The starting pitchers for today’s game are for the Rangers RH A.J. Griffin (6-4, 5.10 ERA) and he will face the Athletics RH Jharel Cotton (6-10, 5.63 ERA). Griffin has had a rough 2017 for the Rangers, in the first two months of the year he was pitching terrible then on May 27th he went on the disabled list with a left intercostal strain. Since his return on August 3rd, he has pitched much better. He has improved his ERA 3 runs from the month of May compared to August. In addition, Griffin is a far more superior pitcher in day games as his ERA is 3 1/2 runs better than in night games. Griffin pitched his first 2 years in Oakland and is very familiar with the Coliseum. The last time Griffin pitched at the Coliseum was on April 17 and he allowed only one hit in six innings pitched. We see a solid start for Griffin today as he pitches in very comfortable surroundings.
As for Cotton, he has been hot and cold for Oakland. The problem for Cotton is that he pitches much better on the road than he does at home. In 10 home starts this year he is sporting a 7.88 ERA with a WHIP of 1.677. The only time he faced the Rangers this year was coincidentally on April 17 as Griffin was his mound opponent that day. He allowed 5 runs in 5 2/3 innings as Texas won 7-0. We see history repeating itself as the Rangers come out with the easy victory. Backing our selection is the fact that the Rangers are 7-0 in Griffins last 7 starts vs. American League West and the fact that the Athletics are 1-6 in their last 7 games following a win.
So let’s get the job done with the Texas Rangers.
