The Texas Rangers will be at home to face the Oakland Athletics on Monday night. The Rangers were beaten by a score of 6-5 by the Minnesota Twins on Sunday to fall to 39-44 on the year. The Athletics currently hold a 29-58 record on the season after losing Sunday at the hands of the Astros.

Spencer Howard, who is 0-1 with a 10.97 ERA over two starts, will be taking the hill Monday for Texas. Howard has thrown seven innings in his two starts, so he's likely only going to go two times through the lineup. The lineup he'll be facing ranks dead last in runs per nine, batting average, and OPS.

Oakland doesn't have enough talent offensively to compete night in and night out, so look for the Rangers pitching staff to have success on Monday.

Adrian Martinez gets the ball for Oakland, sporting a 6.00 ERA through three starts. Most of the damage against the A's righty came in his appearances against Seattle, where he got shelled, giving up seven runs.

Martinez is up against a Texas offense that ranks 12th in runs per nine in the majors and one that scored 20 runs in their previous three-game series. Look for the Rangers to try and jump on the rookie early in this one.
