A’S KEY TRENDS: The A’s are just 2-9 in their last 11road games and have dropped four of Gray’s last five starts.

RANGERS KEY TRENDS: The Rangers have won four of their last five games overall, are 4-1 in their last five games following a win, and are 4-1 in their last five home games. They’re just 5-16, however, in Martinez’s last 21 starts and have lost 10 of his last 11 outings when their opponent allows five runs or more in its previous game (which Oakland did last night in a 5-2 loss).
