The Texas Rangers welcome the Oakland Athletics to Globe Life Field to begin a three-game AL West clash. Right-hander Jon Gray (5–4, 3.92 ERA) starts for Texas, while Oakland counters with lefty JP Sears (6–8, 4.74 ERA).

Texas Rangers Player Prop Pick: Marcus Semien

Semien continues to anchor the top of the order for Texas and owns strong splits vs. left-handers. Facing Sears, who has allowed a .275 average and 15 homers to right-handed batters, Semien is in a prime spot to do damage.

• Homered three times in his last seven games.
• Sears has allowed a HR in five straight starts.

Oakland Athletics Player Prop Pick: Brent Rooker
