The Oakland Athletics have won eight of their last 10 and outscored Texas Rangers 15-0 through the first two games of this series. They're now tied with Houston at the top of the AL West so no doubt very motivated to keep it rolling here Wednesday afternoon.

Oakland hands the ball to Edwin Jackson (4-2, 2.58 ERA) who has allowed just two runs through his last four starts. He was knocked around for five runs on seven hits in 4 1/3 innings at Texas on July 25, but Oakland still won the game 6-5.

Texas turns to Mike Minor (9-6, 4.61 ERA) who gave up four runs in 5 2/3 innings in the Bronx his last time out and owns a 6.48 ERA in 10 road starts this season.

Rangers are 0-4 in their last 4 road games. Athletics are 21-5 in their last 26 home games.
