The A's haven't won in eight games, but might have a chance today. They are better on the road this season, and have arguably their most successful starter on the mound. Kaprielian has been pitching much better than his season's record, at 3-1, 2.35 L7. He has faced the Rangers twice in a month, shutting them out in one of the games. The A's have had some success against against both the Rangers and today's Rangers starter Glenn Otto this year. Look for the A's to at least stay close in Monday's match-up. Take the Athletics on the run line at +1 1/2.
