The Rangers only managed 3 base runners in yesterday\u2019s loss to the Rangers.<br \/>\n2. Rangers\u2019 starter Colby Lewis struck out 7 in 7 innings in a 2-1 win over the A\u2019s the last time facing them and that game was in Texas.<br \/>\n3. In yesterday\u2019s 8-0 win the A\u2019s cranked out 11 hits and had 2 HR. <\/p>\n<p>[dfads params=&#8217;groups=63744&amp;limit=1&amp;return_javascript=0&#8242;]<\/p>\n<p>This season the A\u2019s are 1-0 at home and the Rangers are 0-1 on the road. <\/p>\n<p>In their last games the A\u2019s beat the Rangers 8-0 in yesterday\u2019s game, which was the first of the season for both teams. <\/p>\n<p>The A\u2019s got off to a great start this season with their opening win over the Rangers where Oakland starter Sonny Gray took a no-hitter into the 8th inning in the 8-0 win. That win snapped a 10-game losing streak for the A\u2019s on opening day. In this game they are, again, the home betting favorite. <\/p>\n<p>The Rangers lost yesterday, but have taken 7 of their last 10 games against the A\u2019s in Oakland. <\/p>\n<p>Oakland starter Hahn was with the Padres last season and was 7-4 with an ERA of 3.07. After his first start last season where he struggled he went 7-2 with a 2.08 ERA in 10 starts before struggling again in his last outing of the season. <\/p>\n<p>[dfads params=&#8217;groups=10&amp;limit=1&amp;return_javascript=0&#8242;]<\/p>\n<p>Hahn had an ERA of 3.06 in 5 outings this Spring Training. <\/p>\n<p>Last season Lewis was 10-14 with an ERA of 5.18 and in his career facing the A\u2019s he has had success going 8-4 with an ERA of 3.32 in 20 starts. <\/p>\n<p>The A\u2019s are off to a 1-0 start and the Rangers are only 4-9 in Lewis&#8217; last 13 starts vs. a team with a winning record.<\/p>\n<p>Hahn is a right-hand pitcher and the Rangers have only won 8 of their last 31 road games facing righties. <\/p>\n<p>Ben Zobrist was one of the bigger acquisitions the A\u2019s made in the off-season and he had a HR and a double in yesterday\u2019s game. <\/p>\n<p>[dfads params=&#8217;groups=63745&amp;limit=1&amp;return_javascript=0&#8242;]<\/p>\n<p>In his career facing Lewis he is 3 for 6 with 2 doubles. <\/p>\n<h3>MLB Betting Trends<\/h3>\n<p>* Texas is 5-2 in their last 7 road games.<br \/>\n* Texas is 13-4 in their last 17 overall.<br \/>\n* Oakland is 7-19 in their last 26 games following a win.<br \/>\n* Oakland is 22-10 in their last 32 home games vs. a right-handed starter.<br \/>\n* Oakland has an Over record of 3-1-1 in their last 5 games. <\/p>\n<h3>4* Cappers MLB Free Pick<\/h3>\n<p>Lewis won the last game facing the A\u2019s but Hahn will have a good start tonight and the Rangers\u2019 offense will struggle for a 2nd straight game and Oakland will take Game 2 of this opening series. <\/p>\n<p>We&#8217;ll be providing 4* free plays on the blog all season long, and check out our <a title=\"MLB Season Plays\" href=\"https:\/\/www.capperspicks.com\/sportscapping.php?premium_picks\/leg,mlb\/afc,AF23_15\" rel=\"nofollow\"><strong>EXPERTS for guaranteed premium baseball plays<\/strong><\/a>!<\/p>\n<p>[dfads params=&#8217;groups=65348&amp;limit=1&amp;return_javascript=0&#8242;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Looking for Weekly MLB Picks?
