Athletics vs Rangers Free Pick August 15, 2021
(MLB) Oakland vs. Texas,
Point Spread: -1.50 | -123.00 Oakland (Away)
Result: Loss
**RED HOT 12-3 FREE PICK RUN**

Oakland left-hander Sean Manaea (8-7, 3.43 ERA) gave up three runs on five hits in less than two innings at Cleveland in his last start. The A's still won the game 4-3. They've won four of Manaea's last five starts and eight of their last nine overall. I expect a much sharper outing from Manaea today, facing a Texas team that is struggling to hit left-handers.

Texas hands the ball to Kolby Allard (2-10, 4.93 ERA) who is 0-3 with a 5.50 ERA in three starts against Oakland in 2021.

Free pick on Oakland Athletics -1.5.
