The Athletics are 1 game back of the Orioles for the AL Wild Card #1 Seed but in the Next 4 Days they have a Bigger Fish to Fry. The A's go into the Ball Park near Jerry's House and Six Flags of Arlington to take on the AL West leading Texas Rangers for a 4 Piece and 4 Days of that good Texas Cattle Steak Houses.

The Rangers know they can turn off the Lights on the A's quickly Splitting the 4 Game set or winning 3 games out of  4 or even a 4 Game Sweep. The A's know they have to win t least 3 games to put pressure on the Rangers and this 4 Piece will be played under October Stress with the Ramifications of losing in October. The A's know they can't get swept as the Halos are only 2.5 Games behind them for the #2 Spot in the AL Wild Card. Forget Scoreboard Watching just control what you can control is the Theme in this Series.

4 Piece with SWINGIN' A's @ RANGERS for AL WEST Crown and AL Wild Card Seeds

OAK Straily (2-1) vs TEX Holland (11-6)

September 25, 2012 8:05PM ET
OAK Milone (13-10) vs TEX Darvish (16-9)

September 26, 2012 8:05PM ET
OAK Parker (11-8) vs TEX Perez (1-2)

September 27, 2012 2:05PM ET
OAK Blackley (5-3) vs TEX Harrison (17-10)

The A's Rotation is young and gaining plenty of experience but they have been in this Race for at least a month and a half. Milone and Parker are sandwiched in the inside games 2 and 3 with Straily and Blackley going in games 1 and 4 respectively.

The Rangers will throw Darvish (who has been back on his game the last 5 Starts), Holland, and Harrison. The Rangers are looking to put some L's on the A's and give them the AL Wild Card to worry about. Game 1 Tonight is Crucial for both as its sets the Stage for the remaining Games and all Games from here on out effect the Divisions and Wild Card Races.

A's trail Rangers by 4 Games in AL West and O's by 1 Game for #1 Seed in AL Wild Card.
