Athletics vs Rangers Picks and Prediction – 4/30/2025

This Tuesday, Brent Rooker and the Athletics travel to Globe Life Field to face Marcus Semien and the Texas Rangers in a battle as both are hovering around the .500 mark. Get our free MLB Picks all season long! The Athletics, now 15-14, are coming off a gritty 3-2 extra-inning win over the White Sox on Sunday, continuing to show toughness in close games.

Rooker has been a key piece in the middle of the Athletics’ lineup, providing consistent power and timely hitting. The offense has been finding ways to scratch out enough runs, but the pitching staff’s ability to hold leads late has been equally important during their recent stretch.

Texas, also sitting at 15-14, enters after a 3-2 loss to the Giants on Sunday, struggling to deliver a big hit when needed. Semien continues to be a steady presence at the top of the Rangers’ lineup, but the rest of the offense has been streaky and will need to support him better moving forward.

This game will be determined by which bullpen holds up under pressure. Both sides have played in a lot of tight games lately, and whoever makes fewer mistakes defensively will likely come out on top in another low-scoring contest.

With the Athletics showing more resilience in late-game situations and Rooker swinging a hot bat, they could sneak out another close win. Semien will keep Texas competitive, but the momentum slightly favors the visitors.  Take the Athletics to win and extend their win streak to three-games. Final Score Prediction, Athletics win 4-3.
