Location: Sutter Health Park (per leans.ai)
Starting Pitchers: Jacob deGrom (RHP) vs. J.T. Ginn (RHP)
Moneyline Odds: Rangers -135, Athletics +114
Preview:
The Texas Rangers and Oakland Athletics conclude their three-game series on Thursday night. All eyes will be on the pitching matchup as Jacob deGrom takes the mound for the Rangers against J.T. Ginn for the Athletics. The Rangers enter this game with a slightly better record than the A’s, and are favored to win.
Pitching Matchup Analysis:
- Jacob deGrom: While still a top-tier talent, some sites are suggesting betting the Under on his strikeout prop (wsn.com), indicating perhaps a slightly reduced workload or potential rust after injuries.
- J.T. Ginn: Little information is given about Ginn, and this could be a major factor as DeGrom is a more well-known quantity.
Prediction:
The Rangers are favored, and for good reason. While the A’s are at home, the combination of deGrom’s experience and the Rangers’ slightly better record gives them the edge. However, deGrom’s potential strikeout prop bet is a point of concern.
Betting Recommendation:
Considering the moneyline odds and the presence of Jacob deGrom, Rangers to win (-135) is a solid play. However, be wary of prop bets surrounding DeGrom’s performance.
