Derek Holland wants to get back on track against the A's - Handicappers Hideaway

Holland will try to get back on track tonight as the Rangers begin a
three-game road series with the Oakland Athletics against another
struggling left-hander. He had a promising April after missing most of
the previous two seasons due to injury, but May has been the opposite.



Holland (3-2, 6.09 ERA) went 3-1 with a 2.48 ERA in his first five
starts and completed at least five innings in each. Over his last two,
he's 0-1 with 16 runs allowed in just five total innings. He gave up
five runs (four earned) and eight hits in 2 1/3 innings of
Tuesday's13-11 home win over the Chicago White Sox.



He hasn't faced the A's since 2014 but has struggled in his last four
starts in the series, going 0-2 with a 5.94 ERA and making it through at
least five innings just once.



Manaea was knocked around in Boston for eight runs on 10 hits in 2 2/3 innings in just his third career big league start.



Manaea's ability to rebound will be especially significant. The A's are
eyeing rotation changes in the coming week, with right-handers Henderson
Alvarez and Jesse Hahn expected to return, and Manaea is a likely
candidate to be sent down to continue his work in the Minors.



Danny Valencia homered three times in the series finale two days after
hitting his first two home runs of the year. The third baseman is
batting .405 on a 10-game hitting streak.



The A's edged out the Rangers, 10-9 in last year's season series.
