OA vs TR Dream11 Prediction | MLB, Major League Baseball | Oakland Athletics vs Texas Rangers, 1 July

OA vs TR Dream11 Match Prediction: Oakland Athletics and Texas Rangers will meet for the sixth time this season, and all the pre-match talks are around what happened in those previous five meetings. Rangers lead Athletics 3-2 in those head-to-head games, but the latter has outscored the former by 28 runs to 25. That’s intriguing and phenomenal. Athletics won 13-6 and 5-1 but lost two close games to hand the advantage out to the Rangers ahead of this game which will be plated at O.co Coliseum on early Thursday morning (IST).
The Athletics must be worried looking at their current form. They have won just three times in the last 10 games and have lost all the swagger. Texas Rangers, on the other hand, are coming into this game off a four-game winning run.

If the deficit between Oakland Athletics (47-34) and Texas Rangers (31-48), which is 15 in favour of the former, is taken as a token, then the Athletics are likely to cakewalk to a win. But the games are not contested on paper. The last game, in which the Rangers won 5-4, showed that the Athletics have some chinks in their armour, which the other teams are able to capitalise on from time to time. That said, the Athletics remain one of the hottest teams in the MLB and we back them to bounce back with a win here.
