The Oakland Athletics (31-41) head to Arlington, Texas with a 6-4 advantage in the season series against the Texas Rangers (37-33). The Rangers have done about as well as the A's in scoring runs in 2015, but they're doing so in the somewhat easier run-scoring environment that is Globe Life Park while the A's contend with the foul ground and marine layer at the Coliseum. The Rangers have lost three of their last four, but have won four of their last five at home.
The Rangers are in second place in the American League West.
