**◈Texas**
Cody Bradford (4 wins, 2 losses, 3.31) is aiming for his 5th win of the season. After a disappointing loss in Cleveland on the 26th, where he pitched 6 innings allowing 3 hits and 2 runs, Bradford has continued to show good form. Considering it's a home game, a solid performance of around 2 runs in 6 innings is quite possible. The Texas lineup, which was limited to 2 runs including a solo home run by Nathaniel Lowe, struggled against Sears in the previous game and is currently not showing any signs of improvement. Josh Jung's struggles since returning from injury are also contributing to this issue. Dane Dunning, who allowed 5 runs in the last 3 innings, seems to have had a one-hit wonder season last year.
**◈Oakland**
Joey Estes (6 wins, 6 losses, 4.37) is on a quest for his 7th win of the season. On the 26th, Estes proved again that he is a strong pitcher at home, achieving victory with 5.2 innings, allowing 2 hits and 2 runs against Milwaukee. However, it could pose a problem in this game since he struggles to deliver quality starts on the road. Oakland's offense, which scored 9 runs including 4 home runs against right-handed pitchers Gray and Dunning in the previous game, showed its power by scoring 8 of those runs through home runs. Their hitting on the road has been impressively strong lately. The bullpen that held to 1 run over 2 innings is a welcome sight for resting key pitchers.
**◈Comment**
Recently, Oakland's offensive display on the road has been frightening. However, their batting against left-handed pitchers has not been great, and Bradford is a pitcher who can exploit that weakness. The question is how long Estes can hold out, but he is clearly a pitcher with road weaknesses, while Texas' winning pitchers can be trusted. The Texas Rangers, with the favorable match-up, are closer to victory.
