Texas Rangers DFS SPIN
Corey Seager went 3-for-5 with a homer, double and two RBI on Tuesday night, powering the Rangers to a 6-1 victory over the Athletics. Seager smacked an RBI double off of JP Sears in the fourth inning that extended the Rangers’ advantage to 4-0. He then tagged Adrian Martinez for a 400-foot solo shot in the seventh inning that made it 5-1. On the season, the 29-year-old superstar shortstop is now hitting .353/.412/.657 with 19 homers and 66 RBI.
Oakland A’s DFS SPIN
JJ Bleday swatted his ninth home run of the season on Tuesday night, accounting for the Athletics’ lone tally in a loss to the Rangers. Bleday tagged Rangers’ right-hander Max Scherzer for his 420-foot solo shot in the fourth inning, pulling the A’s to within three runs at 4-1. That would be as close as they would get. The 25-year-old outfielder finished the night 1-for-4 and is now hitting .201/.313/.357 with nine homers and 26 RBI

Rangers vs. A’s MLB BETTING PREDICTION
Montgomery is 7-9 with a 3.40 ERA and will be making his second start since a deadline trade from the Cardinals. He had a successful debut for the Rangers, limiting the Marlins to two runs in six innings in a 6-2 victory last Friday. He owns a 3.80 ERA in four career starts against the A’s. On the other side, the A’s will likely go with a bullpen game and it’s difficult to have a handle on how the opposing team will handle the challenge. Ultimately, with Montgomery on the hill, I don’t see enough offense in this one to cash the over.
MLB BETTING PREDICTION: RANGERS/A’S UNDER 9
