The Rangers have been playing some of their best baseball as of late and look to continue their momentum against the Athletics.

The Texas Rangers come into this series with an impressive record of 20-10, which is good enough for second place in the American League West division. They are looking to take advantage of their recent success and add another win to their season total. The pitching matchup for this game will feature right-hander Lance Lynn taking the mound for Texas and lefty Sean Manaea starting for Oakland.

The Athletics have been having a decent season so far and are currently in third place in the AL West with a record of 16-14.
