Jacob deGrom struck out nine A’s over six innings Tuesday night, all while Corey Seager, Marcus Semien and Adolis Garcia each homered to lead the Rangers to a 6-2 win over the A’s. 

Texas now has a chance to complete the sweep Wednesday behind Patrick Corbin (6-7, 3.91 ERA), who’s coming off 5 ⅔ shutout innings against Detroit and owns a 3.30 ERA at home this season. 

Oakland counters with lefty JP Sears (7-8, 5.13 ERA), who gave up six earned runs in just four innings his last time out and has struggled with consistency all year and owns a 4.78 ERA on the road.

Here are my predictions for the series finale.

Athletics vs. Rangers Prop Bet

• Brent Rooker Home Run (+300 at FanDuel)

Rooker has been a popular home run target since he leads the A’s with a .293 average and a .562 slugging percentage on the year. He’ll face Corbin, who has allowed consistent hard contact throughout 2025 while Rooker is one of Oakland’s best lefty-crushers thanks to his power-focused swing path and ability to drive the ball to both gaps.

Corbin’s above-average whiff and chase rates don’t worry me in this spot, as Rooker’s high-contact, high-leverage approach plays well against pitchers with questionable underlying stuff. 

Athletics vs. Rangers Prediction and Pick

The sharp money is on the A’s Wednesday despite the back-to-back losses to start the series. They’ve owned Corbin in the past, slashing .320 with seven extra-base hits and just 13 strikeouts in 64 plate appearances. Corbin’s underlying Statcast numbers like opponent exit velocity and a suspiciously low barrel rate hint at regression ahead. Besides, even with recent struggles, the A’s are top-tier against left-handed pitching.

Sears advanced metrics suggest a deserved ERA closer to 4.00. He’s limited Texas hitters to a .237 average over 139 PAs and has the advantage of facing a Rangers lineup that ranks just 28th in both batting average and OBP. Sears’ recent blowup start may dissuade the public, but the peripherals and matchup suggest a strong bounce-back is likely.

Pick: A’s (+120 at FanDuel)
