The Athletics vs Texas Rangers Prediction, Odds and Picks for Today, 04/25/26

The Athletics and Rangers will continue a 3-game series in Texas when they meet again on Saturday evening. Friday’s opener went the way of the A’s via an 8-1 decision and they have a great chance to win again today. My Athletics vs Rangers pick is the visitors on the money line. Jeffrey Springs is taking the mound for the Athletics and he has been stellar so far this spring. The left-hander is 3-1 with a 3.34 ERA and 0.98 WHIP to go along with a 27-to-9 strikeout-to-walk ratio through 29.2 innings of work. Springs has a successful history against the Rangers’ lineup, which is a combined 14-for-64 lifetime against him (.219 average).

Texas is countering with MacKenzie Gore, who came over from Washington on the heels of 3 mediocre seasons with the Nats. More mediocrity has been on display in 2026, as Gore sports a 2-2 record with a 4.15 ERA and 1.19 WHIP. Gore really can’t be trusted given his control issues. The southpaw has issued 12 walks this year, including 9 in his last 3 starts. He has been torched by these A’s hitters in the past, as they are a combined 20-for-46 against him (.435 average) with almost as many walks (9) as strikeouts (10). Texas has lost 3 of Gore’s last 4 outings, including a 2-1 setback against the Athletics on April 14.
