The Athletics have been hitting well on the road to start the season, .253 average, top 10 in the league. Jacob deGrom just faced the Athletics in his last start, holding them to two runs in 5.1 innings. Jacob Lopez is a relief pitcher but starts this one and hasn’t allowed a run yet this season and faces a Texas lineup hitting .226 over their last seven days. Out of 14 home games this season, only one has gone over the total at Globe Life Field.
