 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.

One team looking ahead to next week duels an American League West rival already mapping out a plan for 2020 when the Oakland Athletics host the Texas Rangers on the middle day of a three-game series Saturday night.
The A's (93-61) looked like the playoff-contending team and the Rangers (74-80) like the also-rans when Oakland's Mike Fiers threw a dominant eight innings in an 8-0 win in the series opener Friday.

A's, unlike Rangers, charging toward playoff spot

OAKLAND, Calif. (AP)  Marcus Semien is going to need a little bit of luck to become the first Athletics player in more than 15 years to get 200 hits. Getting into the AL MVP discussion might be a little easier for the Oakland shortstop.
Semien hit his 32nd home run and reached base six times, and the A's routed the Texas Rangers 12-3 on Saturday night to maintain their two-game lead in the AL wild card race.
