The Texas Rangers and Oakland Athletics are in the midst of a four-game AL West series.
The Rangers won Game 1, shutting out the Athletics by a final score of 4-0. Now, Martin Perez will take the mound against Ken Waldichuk in a battle of lefties.
Can the Rangers stay hot? They currently lead the division with an impressive 23-14 record.
Let's dive into the odds for the game and then I'll give you my best bet.
Rangers vs. Athletics odds, run line, and total
Rangers vs. Athletics prediction and pick
Instead of betting on a side or total, I'm going to look at a player prop for tonight's game.
There's a strong batter prop for tonight's AL West battle that I absolutely love. Jesus Aguilar of the Athletics should be in a great spot tonight to record at least one hit.
Aguilar's batting average goes from .170 against righties to .394 against lefties. That's the seventh best batting average against left-handed pitchers amongst all batters in the Majors with at least 30 plate appearances against lefties.
Tonight, he gets to take on another lefty in Martin Perez.
Perez has also struggled on the road this season, sporting a 4.91 ERA and a 1.558 WHIP in his road starts. He has also allowed 32 hits in 25.2 innings pitched in away games.
As long as you're okay laying the juice, fire away at this player prop tonight.
