Joe Pisapia grabbed Brent Rooker to record an RBI at +165, citing the wind‑aided jet‑stream that has turned Globe Life Field into a covert hitters’ haven this week. Rooker is batting cleanup against a Rangers bullpen that ranks bottom‑10 in ERA since April 20, and he has produced a run in four of his last seven games. With Langford back in the Texas lineup to force the opposing staff to throw strikes, Pisapia expects plenty of RBI chances and called the +165 tag ‘a full quarter‑too long’.

Joe Pisapia also punched Wyatt Langford’s RBI prop at +135, pointing out the rookie’s three‑hit, three‑RBI return game and the fact that Oakland is rolling a rookie opener plus a shaky middle‑relief bridge. Langford is back to hitting second, giving him insurance from Semien and Seager behind him, and his 51% hard‑hit rate since activation suggests the power stroke is intact. Pisapia expects Texas to push seven or eight runs and likes Langford’s chances to be involved multiple times at what he calls ‘still‑injured pricing’.

JD Bets said he is betting the opposing starter’s Over 4.5 hits allowed prop when the pitcher faces the Athletics on Wednesday. He noted the pitcher has cleared 4.5 in every start this season (4‑for‑4) and eight of his last nine dating back to 2023, so the line continues to sit too low. JD’s confidence is boosted by Oakland’s offense averaging nine hits per game over their last ten outings, ranking top‑5 in MLB during that span. With the A’s grinding out long at‑bats and consistently putting the ball in play, JD expects them to tag the starter for at least 5–6 knocks before the bullpen even enters. He is comfortable playing the over at standard juice and would ladder up to 6+ hits if an alt line is available at plus money.

JD Bets went back to the well on JP Sears over 4.5 hits allowed against Texas. Sears has coughed up at least five knocks in every start this season (8, 6, 6, 5) thanks to a fastball that ranks bottom‑20 in hard‑hit rate and a changeup sitting over the heart of the plate 31% of the time. The Rangers are clicking at 9.0 hits per game over their last ten and feature five regulars batting .315 or better versus southpaws, highlighted by Marcus Semien (.353 AVG) and Adolis Garcia (.333 ISO). Sears’ only previous meeting with Texas in 2024 ended with seven base hits in 4.1 frames, and Oakland’s bullpen is already stretched after back‑to‑back extra‑inning affairs, meaning Mark Kotsay is likely to ride Sears deeper than ideal. JD gladly paid the moderate juice on 4.5, projecting 6–7 hits in roughly five innings.

Cooper highlighted Kumar Rocker as a pure tournament punt: $6,900 price tag, sub‑3% projected ownership, and an appearance in more optimals than that ownership would suggest. Rocker faces the punch‑less A’s in a spacious park, giving him a workable floor and just enough strikeout juice despite an 80‑pitch cap. While the ceiling trails pricier arms, the salary relief lets DFS players jam in expensive Dodgers or Rangers bats, a roster construction SimLabs frequently spits out. Cooper views Rocker as the ideal leverage SP2 when chasing contrarian stacks or premium hitters.

Ruffolo tabbed Marcus Semien to homer at +400. Despite a sluggish .160 start, Semien went yard last night and homered in back‑to‑back games four different times in 2024. He owns a 6‑for‑22 line with two homers lifetime off J.P. Sears, who starts for Oakland. Ruffolo added that the A’s new park has been surprisingly hitter‑friendly, increasing his confidence that Semien’s power surge continues.

Cash Out Sports Picks backed the full‑game over in Rangers vs Athletics, citing a perfect storm for run scoring. Kumar Rocker has been rocked for a 5.40 ERA and 1.50 WHIP through seven MLB starts while sitting in the 13th‑percentile xBA and 11th‑percentile hard‑hit rate, making him a liability in hitter‑friendly Sutter Health Park. On the other side, JP Sears is in form (20 hits and eight earned across 23 innings with 18 strikeouts), but the tout noted Texas is due for positive regression after producing only a .660 OPS with runners in scoring position—20th in MLB— a number unlikely to last against an Oakland bullpen that “doesn't exactly shut things down.” Meanwhile the Athletics’ bats have caught fire, ranking third in baseball with an .843 OPS in RISP situations over the last five games and scoring 18 runs in that stretch. Texas’ relief corps sports a sparkling 1.72 ERA over the past week, but a 4.00 xFIP signals that luck is masking underlying issues. With both bullpens vulnerable, Rocker’s control problems, and two offenses showing signs of life, he projected enough volatility for the total to clear comfortably and called the over his preferred wager.

Cash Out Sports Picks leaned Athletics money line because Texas has been abysmal versus left‑handed pitching—just a .542 OPS and 59 wRC+ the last ten days—and key Rangers bats Adolis Garcia (4‑for‑22) and Corey Seager (2‑for‑13) have struggled against southpaw JP Sears. Meanwhile, Oakland owns a .762 OPS and 121 wRC+ against righties over the same period and ranks third in MLB with an .843 OPS with runners in scoring position over its last five games. Kumar Rocker’s early MLB sample is ugly: 5.4 ERA, 1.50 WHIP, 13th‑percentile xBA, 11th‑percentile hard‑hit%. Sears, on the other hand, has held opponents to eight earned runs in 23 innings (3.13 ERA) with 18 strikeouts. Moving to hitter‑friendly Sutter Health Park further bumps Oakland’s offense. In what sportsbooks list as a pick’em, the tout takes the more reliable arm and hotter lineup at home.

Osborne faded Patrick Corbin with Under 15.5 outs recorded (essentially Under 5.1 innings). He dismissed Corbin’s last ‘spider‑bit’ gem as an outlier, pointing to years of volatility and the rarity of back‑to‑back quality starts. Oakland ranks fourth in OPS against left‑handed pitching this season and was fourth in wRC+ league‑wide last week, all on the road. The hitter‑friendly Sacramento venue and light breeze add offensive upside. With Texas enjoying a rest day Monday, Bruce Bochy has a fresh bullpen ready to pull Corbin at the first sign of trouble, making six full innings unlikely.

Labeling him the Beast of the Night, Beermakersfan made Brent Rooker the key to his Athletics stack. Rooker has already launched six homers and logged six multi‑hit games this season, mirroring last year’s dominance over lefties (2023: .396 wOBA, .295 ISO; 2024 so far: .463 wOBA, .471 ISO). Patrick Corbin, meanwhile, has coughed up 52 homers to right‑handed hitters over the past two seasons and still carries ugly hard‑contact metrics despite a superficially decent April. With a 10.5 total, winds out to left, and Rooker’s raw power, the DFS ceiling is massive; Beermakersfan views him as the slate’s premier tournament bat.

For salary relief and correlation, Beermakersfan slotted in Shea Langeliers. The catcher already has five April homers—two in his last five contests—and owns cartoonish early numbers versus left‑handed pitching (near .600 wOBA, .462 ISO). Tuesday’s matchup with southpaw Patrick Corbin comes with a 10.5 game total, 10 mph winds blowing out to left, and the spacious Sacramento park playing like a mini Coors so far. Langeliers’ salary lags behind his power, making him a strong catcher option on DraftKings and a sneaky utility/flex punt on FanDuel.

Kingpin Staff likes Marcus Semien to go deep against JP Sears. Semien owns a .614 slugging percentage versus left‑handed pitching since 2023 and already took the A’s deep last night. Sears’ four‑seamer sits 92 mph, a velocity band where Semien has a +5 run value. With winds blowing out to left and Semien’s aggressive pull profile, the home‑run prop offers plus money in a park playing smaller since the A’s temporary move to Sutter Health Park.

Kingpin Staff laid the -1.5 with Texas, noting a massive talent gap. The Rangers average 6.2 runs per game the past week and face an A’s bullpen with a 5.91 ERA. Rookie Kumar Rocker showed improved slider command in his first win (10 swinging strikes on 34 sliders) and should be backed by a lineup that punishes lefties and righties alike. JP Sears has held his own (3.13 ERA) but rarely works beyond the sixth, exposing that weak relief corps. Texas’ offense projects for 7+ runs, making a multi‑run cushion likely.

Peterson played Over 9.5 in Rangers‑A’s, rating the game 9.7. He pointed to Sacramento’s temporary home park, where 6 of the first 9 contests have sailed Over, as an underrated offensive catalyst. Kumar Rocker brings a 6.38 ERA and disappointing 6.9 K/9, while JP Sears owns a career 4.42 ERA with 1.6 HR/9. Given two fly‑ball starters in a venue already producing big numbers, Peterson sees double‑digit runs as the most likely outcome.

Todd Zola highlighted Jacob Wilson as a streaming bat because the rookie will have the platoon advantage versus Patrick Corbin, whose post‑2020 numbers (5.62 ERA, 1.53 WHIP) continue to scream ‘attack.’ Oakland already sits seventh in team home‑run rate, and Wilson offers pop at a thin middle‑infield spot. With the wind and park factors grading out favorably for right‑handed Athletics hitters, Zola believes Wilson (along with Miguel Andujar) has legitimate multi‑hit and homer upside for one‑day leagues or deep season‑long formats.

Kyle Purviance called Tyler Soderstrom’s 2‑plus RBI price of +550 ‘flat‑out disrespectful’ given the matchup with Patrick Corbin. Even though Soderstrom bats left‑on‑left, Kyle pointed to Soderstrom’s .286 ISO and 92.1‑mph average exit velocity versus southpaw sinkers and cutters—exactly the offerings Corbin leans on 53% of the time. Soderstrom already leads the A’s with 19 RBI and profiles almost identically to Langeliers in expected wOBA (.372 vs .369) while receiving a much better number from books. Purviance expects Corbin to exit by the fifth inning and believes Soderstrom will see at least one plate appearance against a right‑handed reliever, further boosting the ceiling. He will ladder Soderstrom’s RBI props, taking +550 for two and a sprinkle on three at 12‑to‑1, emphasizing the soft Texas bullpen and an Oakland lineup that quietly ranks 11th in hard‑hit percentage.

Kyle Purviance circled Shea Langeliers for a 2‑plus RBI ticket at +370 against left‑hander Patrick Corbin. Kyle broke down Corbin’s current pitch mix—42% slider, 31% cutter, 22% sinker—and noted that Langeliers owns the highest run value on Oakland’s roster versus both sliders (+3) and cutters (+2) this season. While Langeliers has only 11 RBI through three weeks, Purviance argued the counting stats lag behind the quality of contact: a 55% hard‑hit rate and a .494 xSLG against breaking balls. Corbin has worked just 9.1 innings over two starts (4.82 FIP, 43% hard contact) and is unlikely to survive two trips through the order, leaving a shaky Rangers bullpen that ranks 26th in ERA (4.91) to mop up. With the full‑game total already sitting at 10 and Oakland implied for 4.9 runs, Purviance likes Langeliers as the primary run‑producer and will sprinkle the 2‑RBI ladder rather than lay –135 on the standard 0.5 RBI prop.

Miguel Andujar has a .333 mark (2‑for‑6) versus Patrick Corbin and is rolling with hits in 12 of 15 games. The tout flagged him as a cheap prop or DFS punt with contact floor.

Cash Out Sports Picks recommended the Athletics on the money line, primarily because he wants no part of Patrick Corbin. While Corbin has surrendered only four runs in 9.1 innings this season, the tout pointed to the veteran’s long‑term track record— a 5.69 ERA and 1.53 WHIP since 2021—as evidence that two decent outings cannot erase years of ineffectiveness. Oakland counters with Osvaldo Bido, who has been serviceable over a larger 20.2‑inning sample (six earned runs allowed). The Rangers’ offense was just shut out 1–0 by the Dodgers and now takes a step down in venue quality at Sutter Health Park, a setting that tends to suppress runs when the marine layer rolls in. Given Corbin’s volatility, Bido’s steadier profile, and the Athletics’ underdog pricing, the tout sees value backing Oakland to win outright.

Just A Bet Outside dusted off his favorite tradition—Fade Patrick Corbin Day—by betting Athletics TEAM TOTAL OVER 2.5 runs in the first five innings (–125, DraftKings, ½‑unit). Corbin’s last outing looked respectable, but he still allowed five hits in 5.1 IP and owns an expected ERA around 4.00 through two starts. More importantly, he has not posted a season ERA below 5.20 since 2020 and even logged a ZERO‑strikeout start this year, proof that his stuff is still flat. The matchup exaggerates those flaws: Oakland currently ranks 4th in wRC+, 4th in OPS, 3rd in slugging, and 6th in average versus lefties, albeit in a smaller sample. Corey Seager Field (the renovated minor‑league‑style Coliseum) is playing hitter‑friendly, and right‑handed mashers like Tyler Soderstrom, JJ Bleday, Brent Rooker (.294+ averages vs LHP), and Shea Langeliers provide plenty of thump. With a game total of 10 and contact‑heavy profile facing Corbin, he expects hard contact early and at least three first‑five runs from the A’s—if books hang 4.5 for the full game, he’s comfortable chasing that too.

Savio advised hammering Over 9.5 (-125) because Patrick Corbin’s brief resurgence is fool’s gold. The 35‑year‑old owns a 3.86 ERA and 1.39 WHIP through two Ranger starts, but Savio highlighted Corbin’s four straight seasons with a 5.20+ ERA across 30+ starts as evidence regression is imminent. Oakland’s lineup is its deepest in years: Tyler Soderstrom leads MLB with 9 HR and 19 RBI, and both Lawrence Butler and Brent Rooker are heating up. Savio expects that trio to chase Corbin early. On the flip side, A’s back‑end starter Osvaldo Bido (2‑1, 2.61 ERA, 1.45 WHIP) is allowing plenty of traffic, setting up a red‑hot Corey Seager and the rest of Texas’s offense for crooked numbers. With two hittable arms and Globe Life’s hitter‑friendly conditions, Savio projects double‑digit runs easily.

Peterson bet Over 9.5 (makes it 10.2). Patrick Corbin, despite one decent outing, still carries a 5.69 ERA and 1.6 HR/9 since 2021 and remains one of the league’s most profitable fades. Osvaldo Bido’s shiny 2.61 ERA is offset by a 3.61 FIP, hinting at regression. The temporary Sacramento home park has played small — six of Oakland’s first nine home dates have gone over. With two hittable arms and a friendly venue, Peterson wants runs, not sides.

Scott Reichel went the other direction, grabbing Texas at +105 because "Spider‑Man" Patrick Corbin suddenly looks rejuvenated. After being bitten by a spider pre‑start, Corbin tossed seven one‑run innings against the Angels, his best outing in two seasons, and now faces an Athletics lineup posting just a .682 OPS at home. Bido rarely eclipses five innings, thrusting an Oakland bullpen with a 5.12 ERA into the spotlight far too early for Reichel’s liking. Given that the Rangers own the superior roster and are catching plus money, he felt no need to overthink the play—back the better team and trust Corbin’s rediscovered command.

Bamford played Oakland on the first‑five line. The A’s are batting .270 versus southpaws and have cashed three of Osvaldo Bido’s four starts despite his short leash. He expects that contact‑heavy lineup to strike early against Patrick Corbin, who—spider bite or not—still owns a 5.14 FIP and has historically struggled with hard contact (40 % career). Bamford trusts Bido to navigate two turns before Oakland’s shaky pen becomes an issue, making the F5 market the safer angle to fade Corbin’s early‑inning woes.
