Oakland A's vs. Texas Rangers series preview: The Southpaw Showdown

The Oakland Athletics (16-22) host the Texas Rangers (22-16) for three games at the Coliseum, and it's all left-handers starting.

The Texas Rangers arrive to face the Athletics in Oakland after a rambunctious finale to the Rangers' series against Toronto. How will they handle coming down from the intensity of that series and how will the A's handle facing a club that still has to be emotionally affected from Sunday's events? We shall see.

Texas owns the 10th best wRC+ in the AL at 95 with a .260/.320/.414 batting line, two spots ahead of the A's on 90 (.
