 Oakland has averaged 7.8 runs and totaled 16 home runs and 11 doubles during a five-game winning streak against Texas. The Athletics have won 11 of 16 meetings this season, including five of seven at home.

 The Rangers' losing streak reached five with a 3-2 loss at Houston on Wednesday. Texas has a 7.33 ERA and surrendered 16 home runs during the team's longest slide since a season-high eight-game skid in July. The Rangers need to win seven of their final nine games to avoid a third straight losing season.

 The A's pulled out a 1-0 victory over the Royals in 11 innings Wednesday, their eighth win in nine games.  During that nine-game span, Oakland has batted .295 with RISP and averaged 7.2 runs. Since July 27, the A's are 33-14 for the second-best winning percentage in MLB (.702). Only Houston (.708) is better.

 Marcus Semien is batting .396 (21-for-53) with seven home runs and 17 RBI during a 13-game hitting streak this season against the Rangers. Since September 5, Semien is 23-for-58 (.397) with five homers and 12 RBI. His 1.246 OPS in that span (min. 50 PA) ranks third in the majors.

 Mike Minor, Friday's projected starter, has a 4.22 ERA at home and a 2.63 ERA on the road. His 1.56 differential is the largest in the AL (min. 25 overall starts, road better than home). Minor allowed a season-high seven earned runs over five innings in an 8-6 home loss to the A's on Saturday.

 Matt Chapman is 6-for-58 (.103) in 16 games this month for the lowest average in the majors among players with at least 50 plate appearances. His 26 strikeouts during that span are tied for the second-most in MLB.

HP - Hoberg, 1B - Davis, 2B - Mahrley, 3B - Knight

The Oakland Athletics open their final series of the regular season Friday night against the Texas Rangers, hoping to better position themselves for at least one more home game during the American League playoffs.
Having won eight of nine, the A's (92-61) begin play Friday with a two-game lead over Tampa Bay and Cleveland in the three-team battle for the two AL wild cards. The Rays (vs. Boston) and Indians (vs. Philadelphia) also play at home this weekend.

Oakland's Fiers seeks another home win vs. Rangers

OAKLAND, Calif. (AP)  Mike Fiers wants to show he can confidently take the ball in a wild-card game and pitch the Oakland Athletics into the AL Division Series.
Fiers struck out five and didn't walk a batter over eight dominant innings to win for the first time in four starts. The Oakland Athletics beat the Texas Rangers 8-0 on Friday night to maintain a two-game lead for the top AL wild card.
