Texas Rangers vs The Athletics Prediction, Odds and Picks for Today, 08/29/25

The Texas Rangers face the Athletics on Friday. The Rangers are coming off a wild game where they beat the Los Angeles Angels 20-3. On the mound today are Jack Leiter of the Rangers and Jeffrey Springs of the Athletics. Leiter’s numbers are not great on the season, but he has improved his play in the month of August. Throughout the month he has given up 18 hits and 17 runs in 23.1 innings. Even with this improved level, he has struggled to hit the strike zone and has walked 12 total batters. He will face an Athletics team that is averaging 5 runs per game over the past 6 games. Additionally, the A’s have won 4 of their last 5 games. They are feeling it right now, and Leiter has a 4.81 ERA in away games.

For the Athletics, Springs has been pitching well in away games but struggling in his home starts. In his last 2 home starts, he has given up 9 runs in just 8.0 innings pitched. His home starts have been an issue all season, as he has a 4.73 ERA at home. He will go up against a Rangers lineup that .300 over the past 6 games. This could lead to another short day for Springs. Outside of Springs, the Athletics’ bullpen has a 4.77 ERA on the year. Overall, I suspect that both starters will struggle against the opposing lineups. I am rolling with both teams to score plenty of runs and therefore the over is the official play.
