After a tough loss at the hands of the first place Rangers last night at the Oakland Coliseum, the American League West rivals will go at it again tonight. The two teams seem to be heading in opposite directions as the Rangers lead the AL West with a record of 67 – 46 and will showcase one of their trade deadline acquisitions tonight in future hall of famer Max Scherzer. The A’s, sellers at the deadline, are 32-81 and still hold the worst record in Major League Baseball.
Mark Kotsay will be sending lefty JP Sears to the mound for his Oakland Athletics.
