The A's have won six of nine meetings with the Rangers this season and swept a three-game series from Texas in Oakland from April 22-24. The Rangers have lost six straight in Oakland and are 4-18 there since 2017, the worst record of any MLB team on the road against a divisional opponent during that span.

Texas enters this series having lost nine of 10, and its .202 batting average and .249 on-base percentage during that period are both the lowest in the majors. The Rangers have gotten 61.1 percent of their runs from homers in those 10 games, the second-highest mark in MLB (Rays, 67.4).

Matt Olson owns a 1.070 OPS on the road and a .723 OPS at home, the fourth-largest difference in the majors this season (min. 275 PA; road better). Olson is batting just .218 at the Coliseum but has hit safely in eight straight home games.

Rougned Odor has gone 37 games and 133 at-bats since his last home run against the A's on April 7, 2017. Odor's .119 average at the Coliseum since 2017 is the lowest of any MLB player there (min. 50 PA).

After batting a combined .185 on the road in May and June, Shin-Soo Choo is 12-for-36 (.333) with three homers during a nine-game road hitting streak to begin July.

Daniel Mengden, scheduled to start Friday for the A's, has limited right-handed hitters to an MLB-low .091 average (4-for-44) in five starts since being recalled from the minors on June 26 (min. 30 batters faced). Conversely, lefties are batting .375 with four homers off Mengden in that span.
