Find today’s Rangers vs. Athletics prediction. Two AL West rivals trending in opposite directions clash Monday night as the Texas Rangers host the Oakland Athletics at Globe Life Field. The Rangers, despite injuries to stars like Corey Seager, remain strong contenders, while the Athletics have surprised early with a .500 record thanks to an emerging offense led by Brent Rooker and Tyler Soderstrom.
Texas will send veteran left-hander Patrick Alan Corbin to the mound, looking to build on his solid 2-0 start, while Oakland counters with the impressive JP Sears, who has been the A’s most consistent arm this season.
Both teams have shown power recently — the A’s with 15 home runs in their last 10 games and the Rangers with 12 — so fireworks could be in store in Arlington.
First pitch is scheduled for 8:05 p.m. ET on RSN and NBCS-CA.
