KEY GAME INFORMATION
TEXAS: 2017: 78-84, tied for third place.
MANAGER: Jeff Banister (fourth season).
ADDITIONS: LHP Mike Minor, LHP Matt Moore, RHP Doug Fister, RHP Jesse Chavez, RHP Bartolo Colon, 1B Tommy Joseph.
SUBTRACTIONS: 1B-DH Mike Napoli, CF Carlos Gomez, RHP Andrew Cashner, RHP Jason Grilli, RHP A.J. Griffin, LHP Dario Alvarez.
OUTLOOK: AL West champs in each of Banister's first two seasons, the Rangers are coming off their second losing season in nine years. With most of their everyday lineup back, they should be able to hit and score runs again. But in a division with the defending World Series champs and other improved teams, Texas must depend on a revamped rotation ' maybe using six starters in some variation ' and the hope that its bullpen will be drastically improved. The Rangers scored 799 runs last year and ranked third in the majors with 237 homers. Seven returning players had at least 17. That group is led by Gallo, now the primary first baseman after playing three positions in his first full big league season. Hamels, the clear No. 1 starter now that Yu Darvish is gone, missed seven weeks in 2017 with an oblique strain and threw fewer than 200 innings for the first time since 2009. Perez could unexpectedly be ready for opening day after breaking his non-pitching elbow in a mishap on his ranch in Venezuela before Christmas. Fister didn't pitch his first major league game last season until June, and Minor hasn't started since 2014 with the Braves.
OAKLAND: 2017: 75-87, fifth place.
MANAGER: Bob Melvin (eighth season).
ADDITIONS: OF Stephen Piscotty, C Jonathan Lucroy, OF Dustin Fowler, RHP Trevor Cahill, RHP Emilio Pagan, RHP Yusmeiro Petit, LHP Ryan Buchter.
SUBTRACTIONS: INF Ryon Healy, RHP Jesse Hahn, OF Jaycob Brugman.
OUTLOOK: The A's have followed up three straight playoff appearances with last-place finishes the past three seasons. There are signs of a potential turnaround but rebuilding will still take some time, especially in a division with the defending World Series champions and other possible contenders. The bullpen should be improved with the additions of Pagan, Petit and Buchter. The strength of the team is power. Davis leads the way with 85 homers the past two seasons, ranking second in the majors during that span to Giancarlo Stanton's 86. Olson made a big splash with 24 homers in 189 at-bats, a rate topped over a whole season only twice ' when Mark McGwire and Barry Bonds each set the single-season home run record. The A's added depth to the lineup this spring by signing Lucroy. One of the most intriguing players will be Fowler, who played one inning in the majors for the Yankees before blowing out his knee and then getting traded to Oakland for pitcher Sonny Gray. Fowler adds needed athleticism and defense in the outfield as the A's look to build a foundation for the future.
PREVIEW
Rangers get chance to play spoiler vs. A's
 

OAKLAND, Calif. -- The Texas Rangers get to play the role of the spoiler but are not quite sure who they will be spoiling with when they open a three-game series Monday night against the Oakland Athletics.

The Rangers' pitching rotation got thrown for a bit of a loop during the weekend when veteran Bartolo Colon experienced back spasms and had to be scratched from his Sunday start.

The injury is not considered serious, and Rangers manager Jeff Banister indicated he would need to check in with Colon (7-10, 5.19 ERA) after the club's flight to Oakland on Sunday night to see if and when the right-hander might be available to pitch against one of his former teams.

Colon pitched two seasons for the A's, leading them into the 2013 playoffs.

Oakland hasn't been back in the postseason since 2014, but the A's currently occupy the second wild-card position in the American League after falling out of a first-place tie with Houston following a 9-4 loss to the Astros on Sunday.

Oakland entered the series two behind the Astros, then drew even with wins Friday and Saturday before taking a step backward on Sunday despite two homers from Khris Davis.

"We just took two out of three from a really good team," Oakland catcher Jonathan Lucroy told reporters. "We're not going to win every game the rest of the year. It would be nice, but it's very unlikely, especially when you're playing teams in your division that are really good. We just gotta stay the course, keep winning series, and that's the best we can do right now. For me, I think that's a very good goal for us to have."

The A's (74-50) will begin the week 3 1/2 games ahead of Seattle (71-54) in the battle for the second wild-card spot. They also are four games behind the New York Yankees (78-46) for the first wild-card spot.

Right-hander Mike Fiers (8-6, 3.38) will seek to improve his record to 3-0 since joining the A's in a trade from the Detroit Tigers when he pitches the series opener against the Rangers.

Fiers has had mixed results against Texas. He has beaten the Rangers twice this season for the Detroit Tigers, allowing only three runs in 11 1/3 innings, but that improved his career record against them to just 2-3 with a 7.17 ERA in eight games, including seven starts.

The 33-year-old played a key role in the A's catching the Astros, beating the Los Angeles Dodgers and Mariners in his last two starts. Oakland won both games 3-2.

One guy who has enjoyed seeing Fiers is Rangers slugger Joey Gallo, who has homered twice in nine career at-bats against him.

Rougned Odor was the Rangers' big hitter when they defeated the Los Angeles Angels 4-2 on Sunday, taking three of four in the series. Odor drove in all four Rangers runs, three with a go-ahead home run in the seventh inning.

Odor is batting .338 this month and his season average is up to .279.

"It's another one of those situations that will add to what Rougie has been able to do this year to right the ship and move himself forward," Banister told reporters.

The win capped a 4-2 homestand for Texas, which catches a break during this week's trip to California. The Rangers won't have to change hotels, being that they follow their three games at Oakland with three at nearby San Francisco.

The Rangers won five of the first seven meetings from the A's this season but then got steamrolled by the surging club in a four-game series at Texas in July, getting outscored 41-24 in the sweep.

Davis bombed four home runs and totaled 11 RBIs in the four wins.

He also swung a hot bat during the weekend against the Astros, contributing two doubles and two RBIs to Saturday's 7-1 win, before hitting homers in each of his first two at-bats against Justin Verlander on Sunday.

Davis (36) and Gallo (32) both rank among the top five in the AL in home runs entering the series.
