This is a huge game and I expect the Rangers who are 39-13 in their last 52 vs. the AL West to win on the road where they are 42-19 in Derek Holland's last 61 starts. Holland comes in on 5 full days of rest where he's been excellent with 12 of 14 quality posting a 2.45 ERA this year. He's also got a 2.25 ERA in his last 9 games vs. the A's and has a 2.82 ERA since the All Star break. Meanwhile Dan STraily has a 5.63 ERA vs. the Rangers this year and just 3 of 11 quality starts on 4 days rest where he posts a 5.49 ERA and averaging less than 5 1/3 innings pitched. The A's bullpen has not been effective of late and I expect the Rangers to be able to score some runs for Holland.
