Texas +145
Oakland -160

Oakland is a surprising strong favorite against the so far very successful rookie right hander Chi Chi Gonzalez.  Kazmir looks to rebound after being temporarily sidelined with arm issues.  I don't know if there is much value taking Oakland at these odds.  Better hold on to your ticket until the A's establish some new winning streak Oakland fans.

Roboter (2-5) is dropping games at an insane rate, and they are mostly of the aggravating kind of losses where the prediction was right except for a hit here or there.  Today it says:  Rangers 4, A's 2.
